  • A
    $2u \frac{M}{m}$
  • B
    $2u \frac{m}{M}$
  • C

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed $\omega$ and center of mass with velocity $v$. It collides elastically and head-on with an identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglect friction everywhere. After the collision,their angular speeds are $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ respectively. Then

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $V$ makes a head-on elastic collision with a ball of the same mass moving with velocity $2V$ towards it. Taking the direction of $V$ as positive,the velocities of the two balls after the collision are:

$A$ moving body with a mass $m_1$ and velocity $u$ strikes a stationary body of mass $m_2$. The masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ should be in the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$,so as to decrease the velocity of the first body to $\frac{2u}{3}$ and give a velocity of $v$ to $m_2$,assuming a perfectly elastic impact. Then,the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is
