The bob A of a pendulum released from `30^(@)` to the vertical hits another bob B of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in Fig. 6.15. 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

It transfers its entire momentum to the ball on the table, and does not rise at all.

Two identical ball bearings in contact with each other and resting on a frictionless table are hit head-on by another ball bearing of the same mass moving initially with a speed V. If the collision is elastic, which of the following (Fig. 6. 14) is a possible result after collision?

A bob of mass m is suspended by a light string of length L. It is imparted a horizontal velocity v_(o) at the lowest point A such that it completes a semi-circular trajectory in the vertical plane with the string becoming slack only on reaching the topmost point, C. This is shown in Fig. 6.6. Obtain an expression for The speeds at points B and C.
