Two identical particles are moving with same velocity $v$ as shown in the figure. If the collision is completely inelastic,then:

  • A
    The velocity of separation is zero.
  • B
    The velocity of approach is $2v \sin(\theta/2)$.
  • C
    The common velocity after collision is $v \cos(\theta/2)$.
  • D
    All of the above.

$A$ pendulum of length $2 \; m$ consists of a wooden bob of mass $50 \; g$. $A$ bullet of mass $75 \; g$ is fired towards the stationary bob with a speed $v$. The bullet emerges out of the bob with a speed $\frac{v}{3}$ and the bob just completes the vertical circle. The value of $v$ is $\dots \; ms^{-1}$. (if $g = 10 \; m/s^2$)
