Centre of Mass 3 Question 21

24. The speed of the block at point B immediately after it strikes the second incline is

(a) 60m/s

(b) 45m/s

(c) 30m/s

(d) 15m/s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. (b)

Solution:

  1. Between A and B, height fallen by block

h1=3tan60=3m

Speed of block just before striking the second incline,

v1=2gh1=2×10×3=60ms1

In perfectly inelastic collision, component of v1 perpendicular to BC will become zero, while component of v1 parallel to BC will remain unchanged.

Speed of block B immediately after it strikes the second incline is,

v2= component of v1 along BC

=v1cos30=(60)32=45ms1
