To solve the problem of a body of mass \( m \) moving with speed \( v \) colliding elastically head-on with another body of mass \( m \) that is initially at rest, we will use the principles of conservation of momentum and the properties of elastic collisions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the masses and initial velocities**: - Let the mass of the first body (moving) be \( m \) and its initial velocity be \( v \). - Let the mass of the second body (at rest) also be \( m \) and its initial velocity be \( 0 \). ...

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : Body "P" having mass M moving with speed 'u" has head-on collision elastically with another body 'Q' having mass 'm' initially at rest. If Mgtgtm , body Q will have a maximum speed equal to "2u' after collision Reason R : During elastic collision, the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
