$Assertion$ : $n$ small balls each of mass $m$ colliding elastically each second on surface with velocity $u$. The force experienced by the surface is $2\,mnu$.

$Reason$ : On elastic collision, the ball rebounds with the same velocity.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : Body $'P'$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $'u'$ has head-on collision elastically with another body $'Q'$ having mass $'m'$ initially at rest. If $m< < M,$ body $'Q'$ will have a maximum speed equal to $'2u'$ after collision.

Reason $R$ : During elastic collision, the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.

A bullet of $10\, {g}$, moving with velocity $v$, collides head-on with the stationary bob of a pendulum and recoils with velocity $100 \, {m} / {s}$. The length of the pendulum is $0.5\, {m}$ and mass of the bob is $1\, {kg}$. The minimum value of $v=$ $....{m} / {s}$ so that the pendulum describes a circle. (Assume the string to be inextensible and ${g}=10\, {m} / {s}^{2}$ )

Two small balls are fixed at the ends of a light rigid rod of length $0.4\  m$.The system is released from height $h = 5\  m$ with rod horizontal. The balls collide with the horizontal surface and rebound . The coefficient of restitution between $A$ and ground is $0. 6$ and that between $B$ and ground is $0.4$ . Find angular speed (in $rad/s$) just after the collision. Taking acceleration of free fall $10\ m/s^2$
