In a one-dimensional collision between two identical particles $A$ and $B$, $B$ is stationary and $A$ has momentum $p$ before impact. During impact, $B$ gives impulse $J$ to $A$.

  • A
    The total momentum of the $A$ plus $B$ system is $p$ before and after the impact, and $(p-J)$ during the impact.
  • B
    During the impact $A$ gives impulse $J$ to $B$.
  • C
    The coefficient of restitution is $\frac{2J}{p} - 1$.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$.

The block starts from rest as shown in the figure. Find the work done by the force of $10 \,N$ and friction in the time $0$ to $4 \,s$. [Take, $g=10 \,m/s^2$]

$A$ small block of mass $200 \ g$ is placed on a horizontal slab at a height of $2 \ m$ above the floor. The block is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $10.0 \ cm$. Upon releasing, the block moves horizontally until it leaves the spring. Calculate the horizontal distance covered by the block after leaving the slab and just before hitting the ground. The spring constant is $50 \ N \ m^{-1}$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m$)

As shown below, bob $A$ of a pendulum having a massless string of length $R$ is released from $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming an elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob $A$ after the collision will be (take $g$ as acceleration due to gravity):
