A 8kg mass at 12m/s collides elastically with an identical stationary mass. What is the speed of the second mass after c

For elastic collision, momentum and kinetic energy conserved: m1v1+m2v2=m1v1'+m2v2' and ½m1v1²+... per NCERT. Solving gives velocities matching 12 m/s. Inelastic loses energy. So option C is correct.

A 5kg ball at 24m/s collides elastically with a stationary 15kg ball. What is the speed of the 5kg ball after collision?

For elastic collision, momentum and kinetic energy conserved: m1v1+m2v2=m1v1'+m2v2' and ½m1v1²+... per NCERT. Solving gives velocities matching 12 m/s. Inelastic loses energy. So option B is correct.

A 0.2kg ball moving at 25m/s at 53∘ to a wall rebounds elastically at 37∘ with speed 20m/s. What is the impulse magnitud

Initial: px1=0.2×25×0.6=3kg m/s, py1=0.2×25×0.8=4kg m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 5 N s as the result, so option A is correct.
