A particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with $v_0$ strikes $a$ smooth wedge of mass $M$, as shown in figure. After collision, the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to $a$ height $h$. When the particle has risen to $a$ height $h$ on the wedge, then choose the correct alternative $(s)$

37-758

  • A

    The particle is stationary with respect to ground

  • B

    Both are stationary with respect to the centre of mass

  • C

    The kinetic energy with respect to centre of mass is converted into potential energy

  • D

    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$
