An object of mass \(m,\) moving with a speed \(v,\) collides with a stationary object of mass \(M\) & gets linked with it to form a single object. The loss of kinetic energy, during this collision, equals the potential energy stored in a spring (spring constant \(k\)). When its normal length is changed by an amount \(x,\) the value of \(x\) equals:
1. \(v\left[\dfrac{mM}{(k(m+M)}\right]^{1/2}\) 2. \(v\left[\dfrac{mM}{(k(m-M)}\right]^{1/2}\)
3. \(\left[\dfrac{vkmM}{m+M}\right]^{1/2}\) 4. \(\left[\dfrac{vkmM}{m-M}\right]^{1/2}\)

An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let \(K\) be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule, and \(\vec{P}\) be the sum of their initial momenta. Let \(K'\) and \(\vec{P}'\) represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then:

1. \(K=K',~~\vec{P}=\vec{P}'\)
2. \(K'<K,~~\vec{P}'=\vec{P}\)
3. \(K=K',~~\vec{P}\neq\vec{P}'\)
4. \(K'<K,~~\vec{P}'\neq\vec{P}\)

Particle \(A\) of mass \(m_1\) moving with velocity \((\hat{{i}}+\hat{{j}})~\text{ms}^{-1}\) collides with another particle \(B\) of mass \(m_2\) which is at rest initially. Let \(\vec{v}_1\) and \(\vec{v}_2\) be the velocities of particles \(A\) and \(B\) after collision respectively. If \(m_1=2m_2\) and after collision \(\vec{v}_1=\left(\hat{{i}}-\hat{{j}}\right)~\text{ms}^{-1}\) then the final velocity of the particle \(B\) is:
1.  \(2\hat{i}+\hat{j}\)
2. \(2\hat{i}-\hat{j}\)
3.  \(4\hat{j}\)
4. \(-4\hat{i}\)
