$A$ body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2m$,which is at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision,the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body $A$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{9}$

$A$ 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:

$A$ block $A$ of mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ collides elastically with block $B$ of mass $m$ which is connected to block $C$ of mass $m$ with a spring. When the compression in the spring is maximum,the velocity of block $C$ with respect to block $A$ is (neglect friction):

An object of mass $M_1$ moving horizontally with speed $u$ collides elastically with another object of mass $M_2$ at rest. Select the correct statement.

$A$ body of mass $5 \ kg$ makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction after collision with a velocity equal to $\frac{1}{10}$ th of its original velocity. Then the mass of the second body is (in $kg$)
