Two identical ball bearings in contact with each other and resting on a frictionless table are hit head-on by another ball bearing of the same mass moving initially with a speed $V$. If the collision is elastic,which of the following figure is a possible result after collision?

$A$ steel sphere of radius $1.2 \ cm$ collides with a second steel sphere at rest. If the collision is elastic and after the collision the first sphere continues to move in its initial direction with a velocity of $\frac{7}{9}$ times its initial velocity,then the radius of the second sphere is (in $cm$)

After a head-on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses,one is observed to have a speed of $3 \, m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis and the other has a speed of $2 \, m/s$ along the negative $x$-axis. The original velocities of the balls are:

$A$ 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 $kg$)

$A$ smooth sphere of mass $M$ moving with velocity $u$ directly collides elastically with another sphere of mass $m$ at rest. After collision,their final velocities are $V$ and $v$ respectively. The value of $v$ is
