Two particles $A$ and $B$, move with constant velocities ${\vec v_1}$ and ${\vec v_2}$. At the initial moment their position vectors are ${\vec r_1}$ and ${\vec r_2}$ respectively. The condition for their collision is

  • A

    ${\vec r_1} - {\vec r_2} = {\vec v_1} - {\vec v_2}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{{\vec r}_1} - {{\vec r}_2}}}{{\left| {{{\vec r}_1} - {{\vec r}_2}} \right|}} = \frac{{{{\vec v}_2} - {{\vec v}_1}}}{{\left| {{{\vec v}_2} - {{\vec v}_1}} \right|}}$

  • C

    ${{\vec r}_1}.{{\vec v}_1} = {{\vec r}_2}.{{\vec v}_2}$

  • D

    ${{\vec r}_1} \times {{\vec v}_1} = {{\vec r}_2} \times {{\vec v}_2}$

A spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 N m ^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 m s ^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is. . . . . .
