Answer Key : (a) -

(a)

 velocity of sphere  before impact. As the spheres are identical, the triangle  formed by joining their centres is equilateral. The spheres  and  will move in direction  and after impact making an angle of  with the original lines of motion of ball

Let  be the speed of the ball  and  after impact

Momentum conservation gives

 (i)

From Newton’s experimental law, for an oblique collision, we have to take components along normal, i.e., along  for balls  and

Combining Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get



Next Question :

A pendulum consists of a wooden bob of mass  and length . A bullet of mass is fired towards the pendulum with a speed . The bullet emerges immediately out of the bob from the other side with a speed of  and the bob starts rising. Assume no loss of mass of bob takes place due to penetration

What is the momentum transferred to the bob by the bullet?

a)

b)

c)

d)
