$A$ ball of mass $2m$ and a system of two balls with equal masses $m$ connected by a massless spring are placed on a smooth horizontal surface (see figure). Initially, the ball of mass $2m$ moves with velocity $u_0$ along the line passing through the centres of all the balls and the spring, whereas the system of two balls is at rest. Assuming that the collision between the individual balls is perfectly elastic, the ratio of vibrational energy stored in the system of two connected balls to the initial kinetic energy of the ball of mass $2m$ is

An object of mass $M$ is much heavier than another object of mass $m$. The heavy object moving with speed $v$ undergoes an elastic collision with the light object at rest. What will be the speed of the light object after the collision?

$A$ body of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ undergoes a head-on elastic collision with another body of mass $2m$ which is initially at rest. The ratio of the kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the colliding body before and after the collision is: (in $: 1$)

Ball $A$ moving at $12 \ m/s$ collides elastically with ball $B$ at rest as shown in the figure. If both balls have the same mass,what is the final velocity of ball $A$ after the collision (in $m/s$)? (Assume the collision is two-dimensional and the angle of incidence is $60^\circ$ with the vertical axis).

Consider an elastic collision of a particle of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $u$ with another particle of the same mass at rest. After the collision, the projectile and the struck particle move in directions making angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ respectively with the initial direction of motion. The sum of the angles, $\theta_1 + \theta_2$, is equal to: (in $^\circ$)
