Assertion (A): | When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air, its fragments fly in such a way that they continue moving in the same path, which the firecracker would have followed, had it not exploded. |
Reason (R): | The explosion of cracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only and no external force acts for this explosion. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Body \(\mathrm{A}\) of mass \(4m\) moving with speed \(u\) collides with another body \(\mathrm{B}\) of mass \(2m\) at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision, the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body \(\mathrm{A}\) is:
1. | \(\dfrac{5}{9}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{1}{9}\) |
3. | \(\dfrac{8}{9}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{4}{9}\) |
