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)

37-762

  • A

    $mv_1 = Mv_2$

  • B

    $Mv_2 - mv_1 = mv_0$

  • C

    $v_1 + v_2 = v_0$

  • D

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