A bar of mass M=1.00 kg and length L=0.20 m is lying on a horizontal frictionless surface. One end of the bar is pivoted at a point about which it is free to rotate. A small mass m=0.10 kg is moving on the same horizontal surface with 5.00 m s1 speed on a path perpendicular to the bar. It hits the bar at a distance L2 from the pivoted end and returns back on the same path with speed v. After this elastic collision, the bar rotates with an angular velocity ω. Which of the following statement is correct?
  1. ω=6.98 rad s1 and v=4.30 m s1
  2. ω=3.75 rad s1 and v=4.30 m s1
  3. ω=3.75 rad s1 and v=10.0 m s1
  4. ω=6.80 rad s1 and v=4.10 m s1

Solution

Before:

After:

Applying conservation of angular momentum about point O, we get

mv0L2=ML23ω-mvL2       ...i

As the collision is elastic, e=1

velocity of separation(after collision)velocity of approach(before collision)=1

Lω2--vv0=1

v=v0-Lω2      ...ii

Using equation i and ii, we can write

mv0L2=ML23ω-mv0-Lω2L2

Given: m=0.1 kg, M=1 kg, L=0.2 m and

v0=5 m s-1

Therefore,

0.1×50.22=1×0.223ω-0.15-0.2ω20.220.05=0.043ω-0.5-0.01ω×0.10.05+0.05=ω0.043+0.001ω=0.1×30.04+0.0036.98 rad s-1

Now,

v=5-0.2×6.9824.3 m s-1
