To solve the problem of a wedge of mass \( M \) on a smooth surface colliding with a particle of mass \( m \), we will use the principles of conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:
### Step 1: Define the Initial Conditions
- Let the initial velocity of the particle be \( v_0 \).
- The wedge is initially at rest, so its initial velocity is \( 0 \).
- The angle of inclination of the wedge is \( \theta \).
### Step 2: Analyze the Collision

A particle of mass m, collides with another stationary particle of mass M. If the particle m stops just after collision, then the coefficient of restitution for collision is equal to
A wedge of mass M and angle alpha rests on a smooth horizontal plane. A smooth sphere of mass m strickes it in a direction perpendicular to its inclined face and rebounds. If the coefficient of restitution is e, find the ratio of the speed of the sphere just before and just after the impact.
A wedge of mass M lies on a smooth fixed wedge of inclination theta . A particle of mass m lies on the wedge of mass M in the figure. All surfaces are frictionless and the distance of the block from the fixed wedge is l . Find. (a) Normal reaction between m and M (b) the time after which the particle will hit the fixed plane.
A wedge of mass M=4m lies on a frictionless plane. A particle of mass m approaches the wedge with speed v. there is no friction between the particle and the plane or between the particle and the wedge. The maximum height climbed by the particle on the wedge is given by
A wedge of mass M = 4m lies on a frictionless plane. A particle of mass m approaches the wedge with speed v. There is no friction between the particle and the plane or between the particle and the wedge. The maximum height climbed by the particle on the wedge is given by:
A smooth ball of mass 1 kg is projected with velocity 7 m//s horizontal from a tower of height 3.5 m . It collides elastically with a wedge of mass 3 kg and inclination of 45^(@) kept on ground. The ball collides with the wedge at a height of 1 m above the ground. Find the velocity of the wedge and the ball after collision. (Neglect friction at any contact.)
A block of mass 'm' is kept on a smooth moving wedge. If the acceleration of the wedge is 'a'
A small block of mass m is placed at rest on the top of a smooth wedge of mass M, which in turn is placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in figure. If h be the height of wedge and theta is the inclination, then the distance moved by the wedge as the block reaches the foot of the wedge is
A particle (a mud pallet, say) of mass m strikes a smooth stationary wedge of mass M with as velocity v_(0) at an angle theta with horizontal. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, find the a. velocity of the wedge just after the collision. b. Change in KE of the system (M+m) in collision.
