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 $h$. Choose the correct statement related to the wedge $M$

A block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially the right edge of the block is at $x=0$, in a co-ordinate system fixed to the table. A point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block, its position is $\mathrm{x}$ and the velocity is $\mathrm{v}$. At that instant, which of the following options is/are correct?

(image)

$[A]$ The $x$ component of displacement of the center of mass of the block $M$ is : $-\frac{m R}{M+m}$.

[$B$] The position of the point mass is : $x=-\sqrt{2} \frac{\mathrm{mR}}{\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}}$.

[$C$] The velocity of the point mass $m$ is : $v=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R}{1+\frac{m}{M}}}$.

[$D$] The velocity of the block $M$ is: $V=-\frac{m}{M} \sqrt{2 g R}$.

A particle of mass $m$ with initial kinetics energy $K$ approaches the origin from $x =+\infty$. Assume that a conservative force acts on it and its potential energy $V ( x )$ is given by $V ( x )=\frac{ K }{\exp \left(3 x / x _0\right)+\exp \left(-3 x / x _0\right)}$ where, $x_0=1 m$.
