CURVE II , III, IV, VII DO NOT DESCRIBE THE BEHAVIOUR BECAUSE THE POTENTIAL ENERGY IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BALLS. SO WHEN THE BALLS TOUCH EACH OTHER THEN POTENTIAl ENERGY BECOMES ZERO.

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...
