Two particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) move with initial velocities \(u_1\) and \(u_2\) respectively. On collision, one of the particles gets excited to a higher level, after absorbing energy \(E\). If the final velocities of particles are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), then we must have:

1. \(m_1^2u_1+m_2^2u_2-E = m_1^2v_1+m_2^2v_2\)
2. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2-E= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\)
4. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1^2u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2u_2^2+E = \frac{1}{2}m_1^2v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2v_2^2\)

On a frictionless surface, a block of mass \(M\) moving at speed \(v\) collides elastically with another block of the same mass \(M\) which is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block moves at an angle \(\theta\) to its initial direction and has a speed \(\frac{v}{3}\). The second block’s speed after the collision will be:

1. \(\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}v\) 2. \(\frac{3}{4}v\)
3. \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v\) 4. \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}v\)

A body of mass (\(4m\)) is lying in the x-y plane at rest. It suddenly explodes into three pieces. Two pieces, each of mass (\(m\)) move perpendicular to each other with equal speeds (\(u\)). The total kinetic energy generated due to explosion is:

1. \(mu^2\) 2. \(1.5~mu^2\)
3. \(2~mu^2\) 4. \(3~mu^2\)

An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass \(1\) kg moves with a speed of \(12\) ms–1 and the second part of mass \(2\) kg moves with \(8\) ms–1 speed. If the third part flies off with \(4\) ms–1 speed, then its mass is:
1. \(5\) kg 2. \(7\) kg
3. \(17\) kg 4. \(3\) kg

Two spheres \(A\) and \(B\) of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2,\) respectively, collide. \(A\) is at rest initially and \(B\) is moving with velocity \(v\) along the \(x\text-\)axis. After the collision, \(B\) has a velocity \(\frac{v}{2}\) in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The mass \(A\) moves after collision in the direction:
1. same as that of \(B.\)
2. opposite to that of \(B.\)
3. \(\theta = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)\) to the positive \(x\)-axis.
4. \(\theta = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2} \right )\) to the positive \(x\)-axis.
