On a frictionless surface, a block of mass \(M\) moving at speed \(v\) collides elastically with another block of the same mass \(M\) which is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block moves at an angle \(\theta\) to its initial direction and has a speed \(\frac{v}{3}\). The second block’s speed after the collision will be:
1. | \(\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}v\) | 2. | \(\frac{3}{4}v\) |
3. | \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v\) | 4. | \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}v\) |
A stone is projected from a horizontal plane. It attains maximum height, \(H\), and strikes a stationary smooth wall & falls on the ground vertically below the maximum height. Assuming the collision to be elastic, the height of the point on the wall where the ball will strike will be:
1. | \(\frac{H}{2} \) | 2. | \(\frac{H}{4} \) |
3. | \(\frac{3 H}{4} \) | 4. | None of these |
