$A$ body of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ makes a head-on elastic collision with another body of mass $2m$ which is initially at rest. The loss of kinetic energy of the colliding body (mass $m$) is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$ of its initial kinetic energy
  • B
    $\frac{1}{9}$ of its initial kinetic energy
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$ of its initial kinetic energy
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}$ of its initial kinetic energy

$A$ sphere of mass $m$,moving with velocity $3u$,collides head-on with another identical sphere at rest. If $e$ is the coefficient of restitution,what will be the ratio of the velocity of the second sphere to that of the first sphere after the collision?

In a carrom-board game,the striker and the coins are identical and of mass $m$. In a particular hit,the coin is hit when it is placed close to the edge of the board as shown in the figure,such that the coin travels parallel to the edge after the collision. If the striker is moving with speed $v$ before the strike,then the net impulse on the striker during the collision,if it moves perpendicular to the edge after the collision,is (assume all collisions to be perfectly elastic):
