Two small particles of equal masses start moving in opposite directions from a point A in a horizontal circular orbit. Their tangential velocities are $$v$$ and 2$$v$$, respectively, as shown in the figure. Between collisions, the particles move with constant speeds. After making how many elastic collisions, other than that at A, these two particles will again reach the point A?

A disk of radius $${a \over 4}$$ having a uniformly distributed charge 6C is placed in the xy-plane with its centre at ($$-$$a/2, 0, 0). A rod of length a carrying a uniformly distributed charge 8C is placed on the x-axis from x = a/4 to x = 5a/4. Two points charges $$-$$7C and 3C are placed at (a/4, $$-$$a/4, 0) and ($$-$$3a/4, 3a/4, 0), respectively. Consider a cubical surface formed by six surfaces $$x=\pm a/2,y=\pm a/2,z=\pm a/2$$. The electric flux through this cubical surface is

Three concentric metallic spherical shells of radii $$R,2R,3R$$ are given charges $$Q_1,Q_2,Q_3$$, respectively. It is found that the surface charge densities on the outer surfaces of the shells are equal. Then, the ratio of the charges given to the shells, $$Q_1:Q_2:Q_3$$, is

The $$x$$-$$t$$ graph of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is shown in the figure. The acceleration of the particle at $$t=4/3$$ s is
