Three objects $A, B$,and $C$ are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Their masses are $m, 2m$,and $m$ respectively. Object $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and undergoes an elastic collision with it. Subsequently,$B$ undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with $C$. All motion occurs along the same straight line. What will be the final speed of object $C$ in $m/s$?

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $5$

Four particles $A, B, C$ and $D$ of equal mass $m$ are placed at four corners of a square. They move with equal uniform speed $v$ towards the intersection of the diagonals. After collision,$A$ comes to rest,$B$ traces its path back with the same speed $v$,and $C$ and $D$ move with equal speeds $v'$. What is the velocity of $C$ after collision?

Statement $(I)$: The slope of the kinetic energy-displacement curve of a body in motion is directly proportional to its acceleration.
Statement $(II)$: From a height of $15 \ m$,a ball is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of $30 \ m/s$. If the ball rises to the same height after hitting the ground,the loss of its energy on hitting the ground is $30 \%$.
Statement $(III)$: The velocity acquired by a body of mass '$m$' after travelling a fixed distance from rest under the action of a constant force is directly proportional to mass '$m$'.
