A ball of mass m is attached to the lower end of a vertical string whose upper end is fixed. An identcial ball 'B' moving with a velocity `v_(0) = 6 m//s` at an angle `theta = 45^(@)` from vertical collides elastically with the ball 'A' as shown.
The verocity of the ball 'B' just after collision is

A

`5 m//s`

B

`4 m//s`

C

`3 m//s`

D

`2 m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Using conservation of momentum of the system along horizontal direction
`(mv_(0))/(sqrt2) = mv^(2) - (mv_(1))/(sqrt2)`
`sqrt2v_(2) - v_(1) = v_(0)` ……(i)
`v_(2) cos 45^(@) + v_(1) = v_(0)`
`(v_(2))/(sqrt2) + v_(1) = v_(0)`
`sqrt2v_(2) + 2v_(1) = 2v_(0)` ......(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) , we get
`3v_(1) = v_(0)`
`v_(1) = (v_(0))/(3) = (6)/(3) = 2 m//s`

A ball of mass in m= 1 kg is hung vertically by a thread of length l = 1.50 m . Upper end of the thread is attached to the ceiling of a trolley of mass M= 4 kg . Initially, the trolley is stationary and it is free to move along horizontal rails without friction. A shell of mass m=1 kg, moving horizontally with velocity v_(0) = 6 m//s collides with the ball and gets stuck with it. As a result, the thread starts to deflect towards right.
