JEE Advance - Physics (2010 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 3)
Explanation
Here, m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 5 kg
u1 = u, u2 = 0
v1 = $$-$$2 m s$$-$$1, v2 = v
By the law of conservation of linear momentum, we get
$${m_1}{u_1} + {m_2}{u_2} = {m_1}{u_1} + {m_2}{u_2}$$
$$1 \times u + 5 \times 0 = 1 \times ( - 2) + 5 \times v$$
$$u = 5v - 2$$ ...... (i)
By the definition of coefficient of restitution,
$$e = {{{v_2} - {v_1}} \over {{u_1} - {u_2}}}$$
For a perfectly elastic collision, e = 1
$$\therefore$$ $$1 = {{v + 2} \over u}$$ or $$u = v + 2$$ ..... (ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
u = 3 m s$$-$$1, v = 1 m s$$-$$1
Before collision,
Total momentum of the system = 1 $$\times$$ 3 + 5 $$\times$$ 0 = 3 kg m s$$-$$1
After collision,
Total momentum of the system = 1 $$\times$$ ($$-$$2) + 5 $$\times$$ (1) = 3 kg m s$$-$$1
Hence, option (a) is correct.
Momentum of 5 kg mass after collision = 5 $$\times$$ 1 = 5 kg m s$$-$$1.
Hence, option (b) is incorrect.
Velocity of centre mass is $${v_{cm}} = {{1 \times 3 + 5 \times 0} \over {1 + 5}} = {1 \over 2}$$ m s $$-$$1
Kinetic energy of the centre of mass
$$ = {1 \over 2}{m_{system}}v_{CM}^2 = {1 \over 2} \times 6 \times {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^2} = 0.75$$ J
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Before collision,
Total kinetic energy of the system
$$ = {1 \over 2} \times 1 \times {3^2} + {1 \over 2} \times 5 \times {0^2} = 4.5$$ J
After collision,
Total kinetic energy of the system
$$ = {1 \over 2} \times 1 \times {( - 2)^2} + {1 \over 2} \times 5 \times {(1)^2} = 4.5$$ J
Hence, option (d) is incorrect.
