$A$ 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:

  • A
    $2v_1 - v_2$ in the original direction
  • B
    $v_1 - v_2$ in the original direction
  • C
    $v_2 - 2v_1$ in the original direction
  • D
    $2v_2 - v_1$ in the original direction

In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,which of the following quantities is not conserved during the short time of collision?

The rebound coefficient between a tennis ball and a racket is defined as $e = v_2/v_1$,where $v_1$ is the incoming speed of the ball and $v_2$ is the speed of the ball after rebound while the racket is at rest. $A$ tennis ball falls from height $H$ to a racket at rest and bounces back to $0.8 H$. $A$ tennis player is using the racket to hit an incoming tennis ball traveling at $150 \ km/hr$ and the racket is moving at $100 \ km/hr$ towards the ball. What is the speed of the ball after being hit? (Assume the mass of the racket $\gg$ that of the ball).

Consider the collision depicted in the figure to be between two billiard balls with equal masses $m_{1} = m_{2}$. The first ball is called the cue, while the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to 'sink' the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle $\theta_{2} = 37^{\circ}$. Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain $\theta_{1}$.

$A$ small particle elastically strikes a fixed smooth sphere of $4 \, cm$ radius,with a speed of $5 \, m/s$. The impact parameter for the collision is $2\sqrt{3} \, cm$. Calculate the angle of deflection of the particle ............... $^o$
