Which one of the following statements does not hold true when two balls of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ undergo an elastic collision?

  • A
    When $m_1 \ll m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,there will be maximum transfer of momentum.
  • B
    When $m_1 \gg m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,after collision the ball of mass $m_2$ moves with four times the velocity of $m_1$.
  • C
    When the collision is oblique and $m_2$ is at rest with $m_1 = m_2$,after collision the balls move in opposite directions.
  • D
    $(b)$ and $(c)$ both.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $2m$ and $m$ are projected vertically upwards from the ground with velocities $u$ and $2u$ respectively. The ratio of the kinetic energy of body $A$ and the potential energy of body $B$ at a height equal to half of the maximum height reached by body $A$ is (in $ : 1$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ truck and a car moving with the same kinetic energy are brought to rest by applying brakes which provide equal retarding forces. Both come to rest in equal distance.
Statement $II$: $A$ car moving towards the east takes a turn and moves towards the north, the speed remains unchanged. The acceleration of the car is zero.
In the light of the given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

$A$ block of weight $10 \ N$ slides down a curved track $AB$ and then onto a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface is $0.20$. If the block starts sliding from a height of $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,calculate the distance $S$ it travels on the rough surface before coming to rest. [$g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$]

$A$ body of mass $5 \,kg$ falls from a height of $30 \,m$. If all its mechanical energy is converted into heat,then the heat produced will be ........ $cal$.
