$A$ neutron moving with velocity $u$ collides elastically with an atom of mass number $A$. If the collision is head-on and the initial kinetic energy of the neutron is $E$, then the final kinetic energy of the neutron after the collision is:

  • A
    ${\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • C
    ${\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)}E$
  • D
    ${\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)}E$

Two billiard balls undergo a head-on collision. Ball $1$ is twice as heavy as ball $2$. Initially,ball $1$ moves with a speed $v$ towards ball $2$ which is at rest. Immediately after the collision,ball $1$ travels at a speed of $v/3$ in the same direction. What type of collision has occurred?

$A$ ball of mass $2 \,kg$ collides with another ball of mass $M$ at rest. If the collision is elastic and after the collision, the first ball moves with $\frac{1}{3}$ of its initial velocity in the same direction, then the mass of the second ball is: (in $\,kg$)

The bob $A$ of a pendulum released from $30^o$ to the vertical hits another bob $B$ of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in Figure. How high does the bob $A$ rise after the collision? Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

$A$ ball of mass $1 \ kg$ moving along the $X$-direction collides elastically with a stationary ball of mass $m$. The first ball (mass $= 1 \ kg$) recoils at a right angle to its original direction of motion. If the second ball starts moving at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the $X$-axis,the value of $m$ must be (in $kg$)
