Two identical balls $P$ and $Q$ moving in the $x-y$ plane collide at the origin $(x=0, y=0)$ of the coordinate system. Their velocity components just before the moment of impact were,for ball $P$,$v_x = 6 \ m/s, v_y = 0$; for ball $Q$,$v_x = -5 \ m/s, v_y = 2 \ m/s$. As a result of the collision,ball $P$ comes to rest. The velocity components of ball $Q$ just after the collision will be:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $2v$ collides with a mass $2m$ moving with speed $v$ in the same direction. After the collision,the first mass is stopped completely,while the second one splits into two particles each of mass $m$,which move at an angle of $45^o$ with respect to the original direction. The speed of each of the moving particles will be:

$A$ ball of mass $1.2 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $12 \ ms^{-1}$ makes a one-dimensional collision with another stationary ball of mass $1.2 \ kg$.
