Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of same mass undergo completely inelastic one dimensional collision. The body $A$ moves with velocity $v_1$ while body $B$ is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is $v_2$. The ratio $v_1: v_2$ is
- ✓
$2: 1$
- B
$4: 1$
- C
$1: 4$
- D
$1: 2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $2: 1$
a
Before collision $\Rightarrow$
$A$ $\rightarrow v_1$ ($B$)
rest
It undergoes completely inelastic collision
Using conservation of linear momentum
Initial momentum = Final momentum
$\Rightarrow m v_1=m v_2+m v_2$
$\Rightarrow m v_1=2 m v_2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{2}{1}$

Let the tension at point $A$ be $T_{A} .$ So, from Newton's second law
$T_{A}-m g=\frac{m v_{c}^{2}}{R}$
Energy at point $A=\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}$ $...(i)$
Energy at point $C$ is
$\frac{1}{2} m v_{c}^{2}+m g \times 2 R \ldots .$ $...(ii)$
Applying Newton's second law at point $C$
$T_{c}+m g=\frac{m v_{c}^{2}}{R}$
To complete the loop $T_{c} \geq 0$
So, $m g=\frac{m v_{c}^{2}}{R}$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{c}=\sqrt{g R}$ $...(ii)$
From Eqs. $(i)$ and $(ii)$ by conservation of energy
$\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{c}^{2}+2 m g R$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m g R+2 m g R \quad\left(\because v_{c}=\sqrt{g R}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{0}^{2}=g R+4 g R$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{0}=\sqrt{5 g R}$

The bob of a simple pendulum (mass m and length $ l$) dropped from a horizontal position strikes a block of the same mass elastically placed on a horizontal frictionless table. The K.E. of the block will be
- A
$2\, mgl$
- B
$mgl/2$
- ✓
$mgl$
- D
$0$
Answerc
(c)P.E. of bob at point $A$ $= mgl$
This amount of energy will be converted into kinetic energy
K.E. of bob at point $B$ $= mgl$
and as the collision between bob and block (of same mass) is elastic so after collision bob will come to rest and total Kinetic energy will be transferred to block. So kinetic energy of block $= mgl$

A bomb of $12 \,kg$ explodes into two pieces of masses $4 \,kg $ and $8 \,kg$. The velocity of $8\,kg$ mass is $6 m/sec$. The kinetic energy of the other mass is ............. $\mathrm{J}$
Answerd
(d)As the initial momentum of bomb was zero, therefore after explosion two parts should possess numerically equal momentum
i.e. ${m_A}{v_A} = {m_B}{v_B}$
==> $4 \times {v_A} = 8 \times 6$
==> ${v_A} = 12\;m/s$
Kinetic energy of other mass $A$ , = $\frac{1}{2}{m_A}v_A^2$ = $\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times {(12)^2}= 288 J.$

A bomb of $12 kg$ divides in two parts whose ratio of masses is $1 : 3$. If kinetic energy of smaller part is $216 J$, then momentum of bigger part in kg-m/sec will be
Answera
(a)The bomb of mass $ 12kg$ divides into two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ then ${m_1} + {m_2} = 12$…(i)
and $\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}} = \frac{1}{3}$…(ii)
by solving we get ${m_1} = 3kg$ and ${m_2} = 9kg$
Kinetic energy of smaller part = $\frac{1}{2}{m_1}v_1^2 = 216J$
$v_1^2 = \frac{{216 \times 2}}{3}$
==> ${v_1} = 12m/s$
So its momentum = ${m_1}{v_1} = 3 \times 12 = 36\;kg{\rm{ - }}{\rm{m}}/s$
As both parts possess same momentum therefore momentum of each part is $36\;kg{\rm{ - }}m/s$
