$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a total time $T$. The contact force increases linearly from $0$ to $F_0$ in time $\frac{T}{4}$, remains constant for a further time $\frac{T}{2}$, and decreases linearly from $F_0$ to $0$ in the final time $\frac{T}{4}$, as shown in the graph. The magnitude of $F_0$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{mu}{T}$
  • B
    $\frac{2mu}{T}$
  • C
    $\frac{4mu}{3T}$
  • D
    $\frac{3mu}{4T}$

$A$ mass $m_1$ moves with a great velocity. It strikes another mass $m_2$ at rest in a head-on collision. It comes back along its path with low speed after the collision. Then:

Assertion $(A)$: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,both kinetic energy and linear momentum remain conserved.
Reason $(R)$: During the collision of the balls,as the collision is elastic,there is no exchange of energy. Therefore,both energy and momentum are conserved.
