Statement I: No external force acts on a system of two spheres which undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. The minimum kinetic energy of this system is zero if the net momentum of the system is zero. Statement II: If any two bodies undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision, at the instant of maximum deformation. the complete kinetic energy of the system is converted to' deformation potential energy of the system.

Select the correct alternative. When there is no external force acting on a system of particles,

In a collision between two solid spheres, velocity of separation along the line of impact (assume no external forces act on the system of two spheres during impact) :

A smooth ball 'A' moving with velocity 'V' collides with another smooth identical ball at rest. After collision both the balls move with same speed with angle between their velocities 60^(@) . No external force acts on the system of balls. The value of coefficient of resititution is

A smooth ball 'A' moving with velocity 'V' collides with another smooth identical ball at rest. After collision both the balls move with same speed with angle between their velocities 60^(@) . No external force acts on the system of balls. If the kinetic energy lost is fully converted to heat then heat produced is

A smooth ball 'A' moving with velocity 'V' collides with another smooth identical ball at rest. After collision both the balls move with same speed with angle between their velocities 60^(@) . No external force acts on the system of balls. The speed of each ball after the collision is

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,
