JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 8th January Morning Slot - No. 13)

A body A, of mass m = 0.1 kg has an initial velocity of 3$$\widehat i$$ ms-1 . It collides elastically with another body, B of the same mass which has an initial velocity of 5$$\widehat j$$ ms-1. After collision, A moves with a velocity $$\overrightarrow v = 4\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j} \right)$$. The energy of B after collision is written as $${x \over {10}}$$. The value of x is ___________.
Answer
1

Explanation

By conservation of linear momentum :

(0.1)(3$$\widehat i$$) + (0.1)(5$$\widehat j$$) = (0.1)(4)($$\widehat i$$ + $$\widehat j$$) + (0.1)$$\overrightarrow v $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\overrightarrow v = - \widehat i + \widehat j$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$\left| {\overrightarrow v } \right|$$ = $$\sqrt 2 $$

KEB = $${1 \over 2} \times 0.1 \times {\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right)^2}$$ = $${1 \over {10}}$$ J

$$ \therefore $$ x = 1
