JEE Advanced · Physics · 7. COM & Collisions
A thin ring of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) is rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane with velocity 1 \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). A small ball of mass \(0.1 \mathrm{~kg}\), moving with velocity \(20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in the opposite directions, hits the ring at a height of \(0.75 \mathrm{~m}\) and goes vertically up with velocity 10 \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). Immediately after the collision

- A the ring has pure rotation about its stationary \(\mathrm{CM}\)
- B the ring comes to a complete stop
- C friction between the ring and the ground is to the left
- D there is no friction between the ring and the ground
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) friction between the ring and the ground is to the left
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The data is incomplete. Let us assume that friction from ground on ring is not impulsive during impact.
From linear momentum conservation in horizontal direction, we have
\(
\begin{aligned}
& (-2 \times 1)+(0.1 \times 20) \\
& =(0.1 \times 0)+(2 \times v) \stackrel{\text {-ve }}{\leftarrow} \stackrel{+v e}{\rightarrow}
\end{aligned}
\)
Here, \(v\) is the velocity of \(\mathrm{CM}\) of ring after impact.
Solving the above equation, we have
\(
v=0
\)
Thus, CM becomes stationary.
\(\therefore\) Correct answer is (a).
Linear impulse during impact
(i) In horizontal direction \(J_1=\Delta P=0.1 \times 20=2 \mathrm{Ns}\)
(ii) In vertical direction
\(
J_2=\Delta P=0.1 \times 10=1 \mathrm{Ns}
\)

Writing the equation (about \(\mathrm{CM}\) )
Angular impulse
\(=\) Change in angular momentum
\(
\begin{aligned}
& 1 \times\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\right)-2 \times 0.5 \times \frac{1}{2} \\
& =2 \times(0.5)^2\left[\omega-\frac{1}{0.5}\right]
\end{aligned}
\)
Solving this equation \(\omega\) comes out to be positive or \(\omega\) anti-clockwise. So just after collision rightwards slipping is taking place.
Hence, friction is leftwards.
Therefore, option (c) is also correct.
\(\therefore\) Correct options are (a) and (c).
Note In JEE 2011 official answer key, correct option were given \(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{ac}\).
Analysis of Question
(i) Question is moderately difficult.
(ii) In such type of problems impulse due to friction during collision is ignored.

- Paragraph:
A point charge \(Q\) is moving in a circular orbit of radius \(R\) in the \(x-y\) plane with an angular velocity \(\omega .\) This can be considered as equivalent to a loop carrying a steady current \(\frac{Q \omega}{2 \pi}\). A uniform magnetic field along the positive \(z\)-axis is now switched on, which increases at a constant rate from 0 to \(B\) in one second. Assume that the radius of the orbit remains constant. The application of the magnetic field induces an emf in the orbit. The induced emf is defined as the work done by an induced electric field in moving a unit positive charge around a closed loop. It is known that, for an orbiting charge, the magnetic dipole moment is proportional to the angular momentum with a proportionality constant \(\gamma\).

The magnitude of the induced electric field in the orbit at any instant of time during the time interval of the magnetic field change isJEE Advanced 2013 Medium - A small mass \(m\) is attached to a massless string whose other end is fixed at \(P\) as shown in the figure.
