MCQ
Two particles $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $M$ are moving with the same speed $v$ as shown in the figure . They collide completely inelastically and move as a single particle $C$. The angle $\theta $ that the path of $C$ makes with the $X-$ axis is given by 
  • $\tan \theta  = \frac{{\sqrt 3  + \sqrt 2 }}{{1 - \sqrt 2 }}$
  • B
    $\tan \theta  = \frac{{\sqrt 3  - \sqrt 2 }}{{1 - \sqrt 2 }}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta  = \frac{{1 - \sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt 2 \left( {1 + \sqrt 3 } \right)}}$
  • D
    $\tan \theta  = \frac{{1 - \sqrt 3 }}{{1 + \sqrt 2 }}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\tan \theta  = \frac{{\sqrt 3  + \sqrt 2 }}{{1 - \sqrt 2 }}$
a
For particle $C,$

According to law of conservation of linear momentum, verticle component,

$2\,mv'\,\sin \,\theta  = mv\sin {60^ \circ } + mv\,\sin {45^ \circ }$

$2mv'\sin \theta  = \frac{{mv}}{{\sqrt 2 }} + \frac{{mv\sqrt 3 }}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( i \right)$

Horizonatal component,

$2\,mv'\,\sin \,\theta  = mv\sin {60^ \circ } - mv\,\sin {45^ \circ }$

$2mv'\cos \theta  = \frac{{mv}}{2} + \frac{{mv}}{{\sqrt 2 }}\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( {ii} \right)$

Dividing $e{q^n}$ $(i)$ by $e{q^n}$ $(ii),$

$\tan \theta  = \frac{{\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} + \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}}{{\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}}} = \frac{{\sqrt 2  + \sqrt 3 }}{{1 - \sqrt 2 }}$
