The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principles of conservation of linear momentum and conservation of energy. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a sphere of mass \( m \) moving with velocity \( V \) that enters a hanging bag of sand with mass \( M \). After the sphere enters the bag, the combined system rises to a height \( h \). We need to find the velocity of the sphere before it enters the bag. ### Step 2: Apply the conservation of linear momentum According to the conservation of linear momentum, the initial momentum of the system must equal the final momentum of the system. - **Initial momentum**: The momentum of the moving sphere is given by: \[ p_{\text{initial}} = m \cdot V \] - **Final momentum**: After the sphere enters the bag, the total mass of the system becomes \( m + M \). Let \( v \) be the velocity of the system after the collision. The final momentum is: \[ p_{\text{final}} = (m + M) \cdot v \] Setting the initial momentum equal to the final momentum: \[ m \cdot V = (m + M) \cdot v \] From this, we can express \( v \): \[ v = \frac{m \cdot V}{m + M} \] ### Step 3: Apply the conservation of energy Next, we apply the conservation of energy principle. The initial kinetic energy of the system must equal the potential energy at height \( h \). - **Initial kinetic energy**: The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is: \[ KE_{\text{initial}} = \frac{1}{2} (m + M) v^2 \] - **Final potential energy**: The potential energy when the system is raised to height \( h \) is: \[ PE_{\text{final}} = (m + M) \cdot g \cdot h \] Setting the initial kinetic energy equal to the final potential energy: \[ \frac{1}{2} (m + M) v^2 = (m + M) \cdot g \cdot h \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation We can cancel \( (m + M) \) from both sides (assuming \( m + M \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{1}{2} v^2 = g \cdot h \] Multiplying both sides by 2 gives: \[ v^2 = 2gh \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( v \) from momentum equation Now we substitute the expression for \( v \) from the momentum conservation into the energy equation: \[ \left(\frac{m \cdot V}{m + M}\right)^2 = 2gh \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( V \) Squaring both sides gives: \[ \frac{m^2 \cdot V^2}{(m + M)^2} = 2gh \] Rearranging to find \( V^2 \): \[ V^2 = \frac{(m + M)^2 \cdot 2gh}{m^2} \] Taking the square root: \[ V = \frac{(m + M)}{m} \sqrt{2gh} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the velocity of the sphere is: \[ V = \frac{(m + M)}{m} \sqrt{2gh} \]
