Work Energy And Power Question 155
Question: A mass of 10 gm moving with a velocity of 100 cm/s strikes a pendulum bob of mass 10 gm. The two masses stick together. The maximum height reached by the system now is [MP PET 1993]
Options:
A) Zero
B) 5 cm
C) 2.5 cm
D) 1.25 cm
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Initially mass 10 gm moves with velocity 100 cm/s \
Initial momentum = 10 × 100 =
After collision system moves with velocity
then Final momentum =
By applying the conservation of momentum 10000 =
therefore
If system rises upto height h then
