$A$ force of $10 \ N$ acting at an angle on a particle produces a displacement of $(3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{\jmath}) \ m$. Due to this force,if the kinetic energy of the particle is decreased by $25 \ J$,then the angle between the force and the displacement is:

  • A
    $\cos^{-1}(1/3)$
  • B
    $30^{\circ}$
  • C
    $120^{\circ}$
  • D
    $\cos^{-1}(3/4)$

Identify the type of collision for the following cases:
$(a)$ Collision between a negatively charged object and a positively charged object.
$(b)$ Collision between two very large objects.
$(c)$ Collision between two quartz balls.

$A$ ball of mass $10\, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \, m/s$ along the $x$-axis,hits another ball of mass $20\, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision,the first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along the $y$-axis with a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The second piece starts moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the $x$-axis. The velocity of the ball moving at $30^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis is $x \, m/s$. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is:

$A$ ball of mass $m$ falls vertically from a height $h$ and collides with a block of equal mass $m$ moving horizontally with a velocity $v$ on a surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is $0.2$,while the coefficient of restitution $e$ between the ball and the block is $0.5$. There is no friction acting between the ball and the block. The velocity of the block decreases by:

View Solution

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3:1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Find the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision.
