MCQ
A body of mass $2\, {kg}$ moving with a speed of $4\, {m} / {s}$. makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one fourth of its initial speed. The speed of the two body centre of mass is $\frac{x}{10} \,{m} / {s}$. Then the value of $x$ is ..... .
  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $75$
  • $25$
  • D
    $50$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$25$
c
$p_{i}=p_{f}$

$2 \times 4=2 \times 1+m_{2} \times v_{2}$

$m_{2} v_{2}=6$

by coefficient of restitution

$1=\frac{v_{2}-1}{4} \Rightarrow v_{2}=5 m / s$

$m _{2} \times 5=6$

$m _{2}=1.2 kg$

$v _{ cm }=\frac{ m _{1} v _{1}+ m _{2} v _{2}}{ m _{1}+ m _{2}}$

$v _{ cm }=\frac{2 \times 1+1.2 \times 5}{2+1.2}=\frac{8}{3.2}=\frac{25}{10}$

$x =25$

A small body slips, subject to the force of friction, from point $A$ to point $B$ along two curved surfaces of equal radius, first along route $1,$ then along route $2$. Friction does not depend on the speed and the coefficient of friction on both routes is the same. In which case will the body’s speed at $B$ be greater?

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is $400 \ km$ above the earth's surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is $4000 \ km$ above the earth's surface. Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely.
