There are $n$ elastic balls placed on a smooth horizontal plane. The masses of the balls are $m, \frac{m}{2}, \frac{m}{2^2}, \ldots, \frac{m}{2^{n-1}}$ respectively. If the first ball hits the second ball with velocity $v_0$, then the velocity of the $n^{\text{th}}$ ball will be,

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $u$ undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationary ball of mass $nm$. What is the fraction of the kinetic energy transferred to the heavier ball?

$A$ body of mass $1\,kg$ collides head-on elastically with a stationary body of mass $3\,kg$. After the collision,the smaller body reverses its direction of motion and moves with a speed of $2\,m/s$. The initial speed of the smaller body before the collision is $..........\,m/s$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a total time $T$. The contact force increases linearly from $0$ to $F_0$ in time $\frac{T}{4}$, remains constant for a further time $\frac{T}{2}$, and decreases linearly from $F_0$ to $0$ in the final time $\frac{T}{4}$, as shown in the graph. The magnitude of $F_0$ is:

$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ moving along the positive $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K$ and momentum $p$ undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary ball $B$ of mass $M$. After the collision,the ball $A$ moves along the negative $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K/9$. The final momentum of $B$ is:
