A small smooth disc of mass m and radius r moving with an initial velocity v along the positive x-axis collided with a big disc of mass 2m and radius 2r which was initially at rest with its centre at origin as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of restitution is 0, then the velocity of the larger disc after the collision is

  1. 827i^-2227j^
  2. 827i^-227j^
  3. v3i^
  4. 2227i^-827j^

Solution



The larger disc will move along line of impact

As  e=0, so velocity of larger disc

    v = mv cos  θ m + 2 m = v cos  θ 3

Velocity of larger disc

        =v'cos θ i^-v'sin θ j^

        =v3cos2θ i^-v3sinθ cos θ j^ 

( from the figure we can calculate cosθ=223sinθ=13 )

        =827i^-2227j^
