two particles A and B are at separation ...

two particles `A` and `B` are at separation of `100 m`. They move towards each other with uniform speed, `A` with `5 m//s` and `B` with `15 m//s`. When and where the two particle meet?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Let the particles meet after time t and at distance d from the initial position of `A`.

For `A:d=5t …(i)`
For `B: 100-d=15t …(ii)`
Solvind, `t=5 s, d=25m`

Two particles A and B are projected from ground towards each other with speeds 10 m//s and 5(sqrt2) m//s at the angle 30^@ and 45^@ with horizontal from two points separated by a distance of 15 m. will they collide or not ?

If in the previous problem, particle A moves with constant acceleration 4 m//s^(2) with initial speed 5 m//s and B moves with uniform speed 12 m//s , when and where the particle meet?

Two particles of masses 1kg and 2kg respectively are initially 10m aprt. At time t=0 , they start moving towards each other with uniform speeds 2m//s and 1m//s respectively. Find the displacement of their centre of mass at t=1s .

Two particles A and B of masses 2m and m are placed on a smooth surface at separation d . They move towards each other due to the mutual attractive force. (i) The particles will meet at distance d//3 from the initial position of mass 2m . (ii) The speed of A will be half of speed of B until the particles collide (excluding the initial speed). (iii) The distance covered by B is always double that covered by A until the particles collide. (iv) The velocity of center of mass is always zero.

Two particles A and B of equal size but of masses m kg and 2 m kg are moving directly towards each other with speeds 21 m/s and 4 m/s respectively. After collision, A moves with a speed of 1 m/s in the original direction. Then:

Two particles of masses m and M are initially at rest at an infinite distance part. They move towards each other and gain speeds due to gravitational attracton. Find their speeds when the separation between the masses becomes equal to d .
