MCQ
$A$ smooth sphere is moving on a horizontal surface with a velocity vector $(\,2\,\hat i + 2\,\hat j\,)$ $m/s$ immediately before it hit a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to vector $\hat j$ and coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is $e = 1/2$ . The velocity of the sphere after it hits the wall is
  • A
    $\,\hat i - \,\hat j$
  • $ - \,\hat i + 2\,\hat j$
  • C
    $ - \,\hat i - \,\hat j$
  • D
    $2\,\hat i - \,\hat j$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$ - \,\hat i + 2\,\hat j$
b
Initial velocity of the sphere $u=2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}$ As the wall is parallel to $y$ axis, thus its velocity componant in $y$ direction remains the same i.e $2 \hat{j}$ but its velocity componant in $x$ direction changes.

Newtons law of collision in $x$ direction: $\quad \frac{-v^{\prime}-0}{v-0}=-e$

$\frac{v^{\prime}-0}{2 \hat{i}-0}=-\frac{1}{2} \quad \Longrightarrow \quad v^{\prime}=-\hat{i}$

$\Longrightarrow$ velocity vector of sphere after hitting the wall $\quad u^{\prime}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}$

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \;kg - m ^{2}$ and $10\; rad \,s^{-1}$ respectively while those for the second one are $0.2 \;kg - m ^{2}$ and $5\; rad \,s ^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The Kinetic energy of the combined system is ...........$J$
