A ball of mass `m` collides horizontally with a stationary wedge on a rough horizontal surface, in the two orientations as shown. Neglect friction between ball and wedge. Two student comment on system of ball and wedge in these situation

Saurav: Momentum of system in x-direction will change by significant amount in both cases.
Rahul : There are no impulsive external forces in y-direction in both cases hence the total momentum of system in y-direction can be treated as conserved in both cases.

A particle of mass m strikes normally to a stationary wedge of mass 5m kept on the smooth horizontal surface as shown.If the particle sticks to the wedge then loss in kinetic energy of the system during collision is?

A triangular wedge is placed on smooth horizontal surface. A block is placed on wedge as shown in the figure. Coefficient of friction between block and wedge is mu . Initially system reamins at rest.

A horizontal force F pushes wedge of mass M on a smooth horizontal surface. A block of mass m is stationary to the wedge, then:

A block of mass m slides over a smooth wedge of mass M which is placed over a rough horizontal surface . The centre of mass of the system will move towards left Here mu = coefficient of friction between the wedge and the ground .
