A block of mass $m$ is moving with a velocity $u$ on a smooth horizontal surface towards a wedge of same mass initially kept at rest. Wedge is free to move in any direction. Initially the block moves up the smooth incline plane of the wedge to a height $h$ and again moves down back to the horizontal plane. In this process the wedge gains a velocity equal to

818-300

  • A

    $\left( {\frac{h}{{h + 1}}} \right)u$

  • B

    $2u$

  • C

    $u$

  • D

    zero
