Two Particle of equal masses `4 M` are initially at rest. A particle of mass `M` moving at speed `u` collide elastically with one of the larger balls. How many collision occure?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Consider first collision `b//w` `M and 4M` on the right, the velocities after collision are
`V_(M)= -(3)/(5)u, V_(4M)=(2)/(5)u`
Particle of mass `M` will move to the left and collide with `4M`. The velocities after collision are
`V_(M)=((3)/(5))^(2)u, V_(4M)=(2)/(5)xx(3)/(5)u`
So in all there are two collision.

A particle of mass m moving with speed V collides eleastically with another particle of mass 2mFind speed of smaller mass after head on collision

`v/3`

`-v/3`

`(2v)/3`

`(-2v)/3`

A particle of mass m moving with speed u collides perfectly inelastically with another particle of mass 3 m at rest. Loss of KE of system in the collision is

`3/4mu^(2)`

`3/8mu^(2)`

`1/4mu^(2)`

`1/8mu^(2)`

A stick of length l and mass M lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. A ball of mass m moving with speed v collides elastically with the stick as shown in the figure. If after the collision ball comes to rest, then what should be the mass of the ball

m=2M

m=M

m=M/2

m=M/4
