$A$ body of mass $m_1$ moving with an unknown velocity $v_1 \hat{i}$ undergoes a one-dimensional collision with a body of mass $m_2$ moving with velocity $v_2 \hat{i}$. After the collision,the bodies $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocities $v_3 \hat{i}$ and $v_4 \hat{i}$ respectively. If $m_2 = 0.5\, m_1$ and $v_3 = 0.5\, v_1$,find $v_1$.

  • A
    $v_4 - \frac{v_2}{2}$
  • B
    $v_4 - \frac{v_2}{4}$
  • C
    $v_4 - v_2$
  • D
    $v_4 + v_2$

In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically and has a velocity $v_0$ when it simultaneously hits the two balls and comes to rest. Then,each of the two bigger balls will move after the collision with a speed equal to:
