Three objects $A, B$,and $C$ are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Their masses are $m, 2m$,and $m$ respectively. Object $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and undergoes an elastic collision with it. Subsequently,$B$ undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with $C$. All motion occurs along the same straight line. What will be the final speed of object $C$ in $m/s$?

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

Two blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a massless spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$. The blocks are initially resting on a smooth horizontal floor with the spring at its natural length as shown in the figure. $A$ third identical block $C$,also of mass $m$,moves on the floor with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides with $A$. Then:

State whether the following statements are true or false:

$A$ baseball having mass of $0.4 \ kg$ is thrown such that one of the forces acting on it varies with time as shown in the first graph. Also,the velocity of the ball is in the same direction as the force. The velocity varies with time as shown in the second graph. Choose the incorrect option (up to $0.3 \ s$).
