MCQ
A particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $\left( {3\hat i + 2\hat j} \right)\,m/s,$ collides with another body of mass $M$ and finally moves with velocity $\left( {-2\hat i + \hat j} \right)\,m/s,$ then during the collision
  • A
    impulse received by $m$ is $m\left[ {5\hat i + \hat j} \right]$
  • impulse received by $m$ is $m\left[ {-5\hat i - \hat j} \right]$
  • C
    impulse received by $M$ is $M\left[ { - 5\hat i - \hat j} \right]$
  • D
    impulse received by $M$ is $m\left[ { - 5\hat i - \hat j} \right]$

Answer

Correct option: B.
impulse received by $m$ is $m\left[ {-5\hat i - \hat j} \right]$
b
impulse $=\Delta \mathrm{p}=\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{i}}\right)$

impulse received by $m,$

$=\mathrm{m}[-2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-(3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}})]=\mathrm{m}[-5 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}]$

impulse received by

$\mathrm{M}=-(\text { impulse received by } \mathrm{m})=\mathrm{m}[5 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}]$
