Three blocks are initially placed as shown in the figure. Block $A$ has mass $m$ and initial velocity $v$ to the right. Block $B$ with mass $m$ and block $C$ with mass $4m$ are both initially at rest. Neglect friction. All collisions are elastic. The final velocity of block $A$ is

  • A
    $0.6v$ to the left
  • B
    $1.4v$ to the left
  • C
    $0$ (at rest)
  • D
    $0.4v$ to the right

$A$ ball initially at rest is hit by another identical ball moving with some velocity as shown. Find the angle $\theta_2$ if the surface is without friction and the collision is perfectly elastic. $......^{\circ}$

Collision takes place between two solid spheres denoted as $1$ and $2$. The initial velocities of the spheres are $u_1 = 3 \ m/s$ and $u_2 = 1.5 \ m/s$,and the final velocities are $v_1 = 2.5 \ m/s$ and $v_2 = 3.5 \ m/s$. The coefficient of restitution between the materials of the spheres is nearly:

Consider the situation as shown in the figure. The ball strikes the wall normally and the collision is elastic. The wall is moving with a velocity of $20 \ m/s$ to the right,and the ball is moving with a velocity of $10 \ m/s$ to the left. The mass of the ball is $500 \ g$. The change in the kinetic energy of the ball is $....J$.
