This would be an illustration of Newton's first law of motion. Law of inertia, an object moving at constant velocity will keep moving at constant velocity until a force is acted upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a particular direction resisting to change, unless a force acts upon the object.
Gravitational forece can only attract whereas electomagatism can be attractive and repulsive

Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>
Explanation:
Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
Let the mass of object be m and M.
Initial velocity object 1 be u₁, object 2 be u₂
Final velocity object 1 be v₁, object 2 be v₂
Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s
Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M
Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J
Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M
We have
Initial momentum = Final momentum
24 = 3v₁ + 6M
v₁ + 2M = 8
v₁ = 8 - 2M
Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy
96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M
v₁² + 12 M = 64
Substituting v₁ = 8 - 2M
(8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64
64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64
4M² = 20 M
M = 5 kg
Option 2 is the correct answer.
Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.
