STATEMENT-l : 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-2 : In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

Object A strikes the stationary object B with a certain give speed u head-on in an elastic collision. The mass of A is fixed, you may only choose the mass of B appropriately for following cases. Then after the collision:

In a nuclear reactor a neutron of high speed (typically 10^(7) ms^(-1) ) must be slowed to of interacting with isotope ._(92)^(235)U and causing it to fission . Show that a neutron can lose most of its kinetic energy in an elastic collision with a light nuclei like deuterium or carbon which has a mass of only a few times the neutron mass . the material making up the light nuclei , usually heavy water (D_(2)O) or graphite is called a moderator .

Answer carefully, with reasons : Is the total linear momentum conserved during the short time of an elastic collision of two balls?

A disk A of radious r moving on perfectly smooth surface at a speed v undergoes an elastic collision with an identical stationary disk B. Find the velocity of the disk B after collision if the impact parameter is r//2 as shown in the figure :-

Consider the system shown in figure. We know the masses of bodies : m = 1 kg, M = 3 kg . The distance AB = BC = H//2 are covered in equal time intervals by the body of mass m and at B it undergoes an elastic collision with a stationary body of mass m_(0) (unknown). Time after this collision when the string in pu,,ey 2 becomes tight again is t_(0). t_(0) is second. t_(0)^(2) is equal to 1//x . Value of (x)/(10) is. (Given : H = 1m )

In non-elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
