The bob A of a pendulum released from a ...

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).

A

Bob A comers to rest at B and bob B moves to the left attaining a maximum height h

B

Bobs A and B both move to the left, each attaining a maximum height `(h)/(2)`

C

Bob B moves to the left and bob A moves to the right, each attaining a maximum height `(h)/(2)`

D

Both bob come to rest.

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.

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.
