In an elastic collision

In an elastic collision

After an head on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses, one is observed to have a speed of 3m//s along the positive x-axis and the other has a speed of 2m//s along the negative x-axis. What are the original velocities of the balls?

Consider the elastic collision f two bodies A and B of equal mass. Initially B is at rest and A moves with velocity v . After the collision -

Consider the following statements A and B. Identify the correct choice in the given answers A. In a one dimensional perfectly elastic collision between two moving bodies of equal masses the bodies merely exchange their velocities after collision. B. If a lighter body at rest suffers perfectly elastic collision with a very heavy body moving with a certain velocity, then after collision both travel with same velocity.

A moving body of mass m makes a head on elastic collision with another body of mass 2m which is initially at rest. Find the fraction of kinetic energy lost by the colliding particles after collision.

A body of mass 2 m moving with velocity v makes a head - on elastic collision with another body of mass m which is initially at rest. Loss of kinetic energy of the colliding body (mass 2 m) is

What is the fractional decrease in kinetic energy of a body of mass m_1 when it makes a head on elastic collision with another body of mass m_2 kept at rest?

In an elastic collision between two particles

Statement I: In an elastic collision between two bodies, the relative speed of the bodies after collision is equal to the relative speed before the collision. Statement II: In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.
