Multiple choice physics systems of particles and rotational motion collision of two rigid bodies energy and collisions understanding collisions

A solid sphere rolls without slipping on a rough horizontal floor, moving with a speed $v$. It makes an elastic collision with a smooth vertical wall. After impact,

  1. it will move with a speed $v$ initially.

  2. its motion will be rolling without slipping.

  3. its motion will be rolling with slipping initially and its rotational motion will stop momentarily at some instant.

  4. its motion will be rolling without slipping only after some time.

C,D Correct answer
Explanation

The velocity would abruptly change and would cause the solid sphere to slide at first and after some time it would attain a constant angular velocity where it would roll without slipping.
