After a head-on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses,one is observed to have a speed of $3\,m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis and the other has a speed of $2\,m/s$ along the negative $x$-axis. What were the original velocities of the balls?

  • A
    $-2\,m/s$ and $+3\,m/s$
  • B
    $+2\,m/s$ and $+3\,m/s$
  • C
    $-3\,m/s$ and $+2\,m/s$
  • D
    $+3\,m/s$ and $-2\,m/s$

$A$ body $A$ of mass $m=0.1 \; kg$ has an initial velocity of $3 \hat{i} \; ms^{-1}$. It collides elastically with another body $B$ of the same mass which has an initial velocity of $5 \hat{j} \; ms^{-1}$. After the collision,$A$ moves with a velocity $\vec{v}_A = 4(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \; ms^{-1}$. The energy of $B$ after the collision is written as $\frac{x}{10} \; J$. The value of $x$ is:

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ moves on a frictionless horizontal surface with an angular velocity $\omega$ and a linear velocity $v$ of its center of mass. It undergoes an elastic collision with another identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglecting friction everywhere,if the angular speeds after the collision are $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ respectively,then:
