$A$ particle of mass $m$ with an initial velocity $u\hat{i}$ collides perfectly elastically with a mass $3m$ at rest. It moves with a velocity $v\hat{j}$ after collision. Then, $v$ is given by:

  • A
    $v=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} u$
  • B
    $v =\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} u$
  • C
    $v=\frac{u}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • D
    $v=\frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}$

$A$ body of mass $M$ moving at speed $V_{0}$ collides elastically with a mass $m$ at rest. After the collision,the two masses move at angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ with respect to the initial direction of motion of the body of mass $M$. The largest possible value of the ratio $M/m$,for which the angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ will be equal,is:

The bob $A$ of a simple pendulum is released when the string makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of the same material and same mass kept at rest on the table. If the collision is elastic,what happens after the collision?

$A$ ball of $0.4 \, kg$ mass and a speed of $3 \, m/s$ has a head-on,completely elastic collision with a $0.6 \, kg$ mass initially at rest. Find the speeds of both balls after the collision:

$A$ $2\, kg$ block moving with $10\, m/s$ strikes a spring of constant $\pi^2\, N/m$ attached to a $2\, kg$ block at rest kept on a smooth floor. The velocity of the rear $2\, kg$ block after it separates from the spring will be ..... $m/s$.

$A$ body of mass $8 \ kg$ moving with a certain velocity collides elastically with another body of mass $2 \ kg$ at rest. If $E$ is the initial kinetic energy of the moving mass,what will be the remaining kinetic energy of the moving mass after the collision (in $E$)?
