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 $h$. Identify the correct statement $(s)$ related to the situation when the particle starts moving downward.

37-758

  • A

    The centre of mass of the system remains stationary

  • B

    Both the particle and the wedge remain stationary with respect to centre of mass

  • C

    When the particle reaches the horizontal surface it velocity relative to the wedge is $v_0$

  • D

    None of these

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 $(s)$

The inclined surfaces of two movable wedges of same mass $M$ are smoothly conjugated with the horizontal plane as shown in figure. $A$ washer of mass $m$ slides down the left wedge from a height $h$. To what maximum height will the washer rise along the right wedge? Neglect friction. 

A projectile is moving at $20\,m/sec$ at its highest point where it breaks into two equal parts due to an internal explosion. One part moves vertically up at $30\,m/sec$ . Then the other part will move at ............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$

In a system of particles, internal forces can change (for the system)
