The bob A of a simple pendulum released ...

The bob A of a simple pendulum released from `30^(@)` to the vertical hits another bobo B of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in figure. How high does the bob A rise after the collision ? Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The bob A shall not rise. This is because when two bodies of same mass undergo an elastic collision, their velocities are interchanged. After collision, ball A will come to rest and the ball B would move with the velocity of A. figure,. Thus the bob A will not rise after the collision

The bob A of a pendulum released from horizontal to the vertical hits another bob B of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in figure. If the length of the pendulum is 1m, calculate (a) the height to which bob A will rise after collision. (b) the speed with which bob B starts moving. Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

The bob A of a pendulum released from a height h hits head-on another bob B of the same mass of an identical pendulum initially at rest. What is the result of this collision? Assume the collisio to be elastic (see figure).

  • The bob A of a simple pendulum is released when the string makes an angle of 45^(@) with the vertical. It hits another bob B of the same meterial and same mass kept at rest on the table. If the collision is elastic, then

    A
    Both `A and B` rise to the same height
    B
    Both `A and B` comes to rest at `B`
    C
    Both `A and B` move with the same velocity of `A`
    D
    A comes to rest and `B` move with the same velocity of `A`
