A ball of mass approaches a wall of mass with speed along the normal to the wall. The speed of wall is towards the ball. The speed of the ball after an elastic collision with the wall will be,


Important Questions on Center of Mass

(i) collision is elastic and masses are unequal.
(ii) collision is inelastic but masses are unequal.
Select the correct alternative.


Two blocks and , each of mass ,are connected to a massless spring of natural length and spring constant . The blocks are initially resting on a smooth horizontal floor with the spring at its natural length as shown in the figure. A third identical block , also of mass , moves on the floor with speed along the line joining and and collides elastically with . Then,


A particle of mass is given initial speed as shown in the figure. It transfers to the fixed inclined plane without a jump, that is, its trajectory changes sharply from the horizontal line to the inclined line. All the surfaces are smooth and . Then, the height to which the particle shall rise on the inclined plane (assuming the length of the inclined plane to be very large),
