The potential energy of a particle in a force field is \(U=\)Ar2-Br where \(A\) and \(B\) are positive constants and \(r\) is the distance of the particle from the center of the field. For stable equilibrium, the distance of the particle is:

1. \(\frac{B}{A}\) 2. \(\frac{B}{2A}\)
3. \(\frac{2A}{B}\) 4. \(\frac{A}{B}\)

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 \(x\)-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.
