Two perfectly elastic particles $P$ and $Q$ of equal mass are travelling along the line joining them with velocities $15 \ m/s$ and $10 \ m/s$ respectively. After a perfectly elastic collision,their velocities (in $m/s$) will be:

  • A
    $0, 25$
  • B
    $5, 20$
  • C
    $10, 15$
  • D
    $20, 5$

$A$ 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:

$A$ billiard table has length and width as shown in the figure. $A$ ball is placed at point $A$. At what angle $\theta$ should the ball be projected so that after colliding with two walls,the ball will fall into the pocket $B$? Assume that all collisions are perfectly elastic and neglect friction.

$A$ body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2m$,which is at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision,the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body $A$ is

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$. Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one-dimensional motion as shown in the figure with initial velocities $v_{A} = 5 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 4 \ m/s$. If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collisions to happen,then $v_{A} = 4 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 5 \ m/s$ will be the final velocities.
Reason $(R)$: In an elastic collision between identical masses,two objects exchange their velocities. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
