Solution

The correct option is C

$v_{2} = (\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}) u_{2} + \frac{2 m_{1} u_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \frac{2 M u}{M + m} = \frac{2 u}{1 + \frac{m}{M}}$

A smooth sphere A is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed $ω$ and centre of mass is moving translationally with velocity 'v'. It collides elastically and head-on with an identical sphere B which is at rest. All surfaces are frictionless. After the collision, their angular speeds are $ω_{A}$ and $ω_{B}$ , respectively. Then,

The correct option is C v2=(m2−m1m1+m2)u2+2m1u1m1+m2=2MuM+m=2u1+mM

The correct option is C

$v_{2} = (\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}) u_{2} + \frac{2 m_{1} u_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \frac{2 M u}{M + m} = \frac{2 u}{1 + \frac{m}{M}}$
