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 $h$. Suppose the particle when reaches the horizontal surfaces, its velocity with respect to ground is $v_1$ and that of wedge is $v_2$. Choose the correct statement(s)

A tennis ball is dropped on a horizontal smooth surface. It bounces back to its original position after hitting the surface. The force on the ball during the collision is proportional to the length of compression of the ball. Which one of the following sketches describes the variation of its kinetic energy $K$ with time $t$ most appropriately? The figures are only illustrative and not to the scale.
