In the figure shown, the two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each, are placed in contact with each other on the frictionless horizontal surface. The third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R/2$, is coming down vertically and has a velocity $= v_0$ when it simultaneously hits the two balls and itself comes to rest. Then, each of the two bigger balls will move after collision with a speed equal to

37-635

  • A

    $4v_0 / \sqrt 5 $

  • B

    $2v_0/ \sqrt 5$

  • C

    $v_0/ \sqrt 5$

  • D

Which of the following statement is true?

A large block of wood of mass $M =5.99\, kg$ is hanging from two long massless cords. A bullet of mass $m =10\, g$ is fired into the block and gets embedded in it. The (block $+$ bullet) then swing upwards, their centre of mass rising a vertical distance $h =9.8\,cm$ before the (block $+$ bullet) pendulum comes momentarily to rest at the end of its arc. The speed of the bullet just before collision is: (Take $g =9.8\, ms ^{-2}$ ) (in $m/s$)
