Rotational Motion Question 115

Question: Three blocks are initially placed . Block A has mass m and initial velocity v to the right. Block B with mass and block C with mass 4m are both initially at rest. Neglect friction. All collisions are elastic. The final velocity of blocks A is

Options:

A) 0.6v to the left

B) 1.4v to the left

C) v to the left

D) 0.4 v to the right

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Since, A and 5 have same mass.

So, after elastic collision, they interchange their velocity.

vB=v

After collision between B and C, vB=(m4mm+4m)v+(2×4m×0m+4m)=35v

Again, collision takes place between A and B.

So, velocity will be interchanged.

vA=(vB)=35v toward left
