The bob of a simple pendulum (mass $m$ and length $l$) is dropped from a horizontal position. It strikes a block of the same mass $m$ placed on a horizontal frictionless table. The collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the block after the collision will be

    $2\, mgl$
  • B
    $mgl/2$
  • C
    $mgl$

$A$ body $A$ of mass $m=0.1 \; kg$ has an initial velocity of $3 \hat{i} \; ms^{-1}$. It collides elastically with another body $B$ of the same mass which has an initial velocity of $5 \hat{j} \; ms^{-1}$. After the collision,$A$ moves with a velocity $\vec{v}_A = 4(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \; ms^{-1}$. The energy of $B$ after the collision is written as $\frac{x}{10} \; J$. The value of $x$ is:

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest,the fractional loss of its energy is $P_d$; while for its similar collision with a carbon nucleus at rest,the fractional loss of energy is $P_c$. The values of $P_d$ and $P_c$ are respectively:

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ of mass $m$ collides elastically with an identical sphere $B$ at rest. The velocity of $A$ before collision is $8 \ m/s$ in a direction making $60^{\circ}$ with the line of centers at the time of impact.
$(i)$ The sphere $A$ comes to rest after collision.
$(ii)$ The sphere $B$ will move with a speed of $8 \ m/s$ after collision.
$(iii)$ The directions of motion of $A$ and $B$ after collision are at right angles.
$(iv)$ The speed of $B$ after collision is $4 \ m/s$.
The correct option is:
