$A$ block $A$ of mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ collides elastically with block $B$ of mass $m$ which is connected to block $C$ of mass $m$ with a spring. When the compression in the spring is maximum,the velocity of block $C$ with respect to block $A$ is (neglect friction):

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $\frac{M}{M+m}u$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m}{M+m}\right)u$
  • D
    $\frac{m}{M}u$

The bob $A$ of a pendulum released from $30^o$ to the vertical hits another bob $B$ of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in Figure. How high does the bob $A$ rise after the collision? Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

$A$ body of mass $M$ moving at speed $V_{0}$ collides elastically with a mass $m$ at rest. After the collision,the two masses move at angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ with respect to the initial direction of motion of the body of mass $M$. The largest possible value of the ratio $M/m$,for which the angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ will be equal,is:

$A$ light particle moving horizontally with a speed $v_1$ strikes a very heavy block moving in the same direction with a speed $v_2$. The collision is elastic. After the collision,the velocity of the particle is:

Two balls $A$ and $B$,of masses $M$ and $2M$ respectively,collide with each other. If ball $A$ moves with a speed of $150 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and collides with ball $B$ moving with speed $v$ in the opposite direction,and after the collision ball $A$ comes to rest with the coefficient of restitution being $1$,then the speed of ball $B$ before it collides with ball $A$ is: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

Six steel balls of identical size are lined up along a straight frictionless groove. Two similar balls moving with a speed $V$ along the groove collide with this row on the extreme left end. Then:
