$A$ truck moving on a horizontal road towards the east with a velocity of $20\, ms^{-1}$ collides elastically with a light ball moving with a velocity of $25\, ms^{-1}$ towards the west. What is the velocity of the ball just after the collision?

$A$ ball of mass $2m$ and a system of two balls with equal masses $m$ connected by a massless spring are placed on a smooth horizontal surface (see figure). Initially, the ball of mass $2m$ moves with velocity $u_0$ along the line passing through the centres of all the balls and the spring, whereas the system of two balls is at rest. Assuming that the collision between the individual balls is perfectly elastic, the ratio of vibrational energy stored in the system of two connected balls to the initial kinetic energy of the ball of mass $2m$ is

On a frictionless surface,a block of mass $M$ moving at speed $V$ collides elastically with another block of same mass $M$ which is initially at rest. After collision,the first block moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has a speed $\frac{V}{3}$. The second block's speed after the collision is:
