In the following question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct choice. Assertion: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls are in contact with each other. During the short time of collision, kinetic energy is conserved. Reason: Energy, spent against friction does not follow the law of conservation of energy

Assertion : Moderator is used to slow down the high energy neutrons to provide slow neutrons. Reason :Cadmium rods are used as control rods

A particle of mass 5 xx 10^(-6) g is kept over a large horizantal sheet of charge of denisity 4.0 xx 10^(-6) C m^(-2) (Figure 30-W5). What charge should be given to this partical so that if released, it does not fall down? How many electrons are to be removed to give this charge? How much mass is decreased due to the removal of these electrons?

A small block of mass m and a concave mirror of radius R fitted with a stand lie on a smooth horizontal table with a separation d between them. The mirror together with its stand has a mass m. The block is pushed at t = 0 towards the mirror so that it starts moving towards the mirror at a constant speed V and collides with it. The collision is perfectly elastic. Find the velocity of the image (a) at a time t lt d/V, (b) at a time t gt d/V .
