$A$ stick of length $l$ and mass $M$ lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. $A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with the stick at one of its ends as shown in the figure. If after the collision the ball comes to rest,what should be the mass of the ball?

  • A
    $m = 2M$
  • B
    $m = M$
  • C
    $m = \frac{M}{2}$
  • D
    $m = \frac{M}{4}$

$A$ roller is made by joining together two cones at their vertices $O$. It is kept on two rails $AB$ and $CD$,which are placed asymmetrically (see figure),with its axis perpendicular to $CD$ and its centre $O$ at the centre of the line joining $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure). It is given a light push so that it starts rolling with its centre $O$ moving parallel to $CD$ in the direction shown. As it moves,the roller will tend to
