Statement-1 : In a perfectly inelastic collision between two spheres, velocity of both spheres just after the collision are not always equal. Statement-2 : For two spheres undergoing collision, component of velocities of both spheres along line of impact just after the collision will be equal if the collision is perfectly inelastic. The component of velocity of each sphere perpendicular to line of impact remains unchanged due to the impact.

Statement I: If a sphere of mass m moving with speed u undergoes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with another sphere of heavier mass M at rest ( M gt m ), then direction of velocity of sphere of mass m is reversed due to collision (no external force acts on system of two spheres). Statement II: During a collision of spheres of unequal masses, the heavier mass exerts more force on the lighter mass in comparison to the force which lighter mass exerts on the heavier one,

Which of the following statement is true concening the elastic collision of two object (It is given that no net external force acts on the system of two object and the do not exen force on each other exept during collision)

Statement 1: Two spheres undergo a perfectly elastic collision. The kinetic energy of system of both spheres is always constant. [There is no external force on system of both spheres]. Statement 2: If net external force on a system is zero, the velocity of centre of mass remains constant.

Collision is a physical process in which two or more objects, either particle masses or rigid bodies, experience very high force of interaction for a very small duration. It is not essential for the objects to physically touch each other for collision to occur. Irrespective of the nature of interactive force and the nature of colliding bodies, Newton's second law holds good on the system. Hence, momentum of the system before and after the collision remains conserved if no appreciable external force acts on the system during collision. The amount of energy loss during collision, if at all, is indeed dependent on the nature of colliding objects. The energy loss is observed to be maximum when objects stick together after collision. The terminology is to define collision as 'elastic' if no energy loss takes place and to define collision as 'plastic' for maximum energy loss. The behaviour of system after collision depends on the position of colliding objects as well. A unidirectional motion of colliding objects before collision can turn into two dimensional after collision if the line joining the centre of mass of the two colliding objects is not parallel to the direction of velocity of each particle before collision. Such type of collision is referred to as oblique collision which may be either two or three dimensional. For which of the following collisions, the external force acting on the system during collision is not appreciable as mentioned in paragraph 1.

Two small spheres of equal mass, and heading towards each other with equal speeds, undergo a head on collision ( external force acts on system of two spheres ) . Then which of the following statement is correct ?
