A body $A,$ of mass $m=0.1\; kg$ has an initial velocity of $3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}\; \mathrm{ms}^{-1} .$ It collides elastically with another body, $\mathrm{B}$ of the same mass which has an initial velocity of $5 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \;\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$. After collision. A moves with a velocity $\overline{\mathrm{v}}=4(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}})$. The energy of $\mathrm{B}$ after collision is written as $\frac{\mathrm{x}}{10} \;\mathrm{J}$ The value of $x$ is
→An object of mass $M$ is at rest on smooth horizontal surface. Objects of different masses collide head on elastically to the object of mass $M$ . All colliding objects are having fixed same kinetic energy and in each case mass $M$ is supposed to be at rest initially. In this experiment the kinetic energy transferred to stationary mass $(M)$ depend on linear momentum of incoming colliding mass then energy transferred to $M$ in a collision is
