Question

Five balls are placed one after the other along a straight line as shown in figure. Initially, all the balls are at rest. Then the second ball has been projected with speed v₀ towards the third ball. If all collisions are head-on and elastic, then

Their is no collision between 1 and 2 ball

Total no. of collisions in the process is 5

Velocity of separation between the first and fifth ball after last possible collsion is v₀

Finally, three balls remains stationary
