$A$ hammer of mass $M$ strikes a nail of mass $m$ with a velocity $20 \ m/s$ into a fixed wall. The nail penetrates into the wall to a depth of $1 \ cm$. The average resistance of the wall to the penetration of the nail is

  • A
    $\left(\frac{M^2}{M+m}\right) \times 10^3$
  • B
    $\frac{2 M^2}{M+m} \times 10^4$
  • C
    $\frac{M+m}{M^2} \times 10^2$
  • D
    $\frac{M^2}{M+m} \times 10^2$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Suppose the particle,when it reaches the horizontal surface again,has a velocity $v_1$ with respect to the ground,and the wedge has a velocity $v_2$. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.
