A body \(A,\) of mass \(m=0.1\; kg\) has an initial velocity of \(3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}\; \mathrm{ms}^{-1} .\) It collides elastically with another body, \(\mathrm{B}\) of the same mass which has an initial velocity of \(5 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \;\mathrm{ms}^{-1}\). After collision. A moves with a velocity \(\overline{\mathrm{v}}=4(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}})\). The energy of \(\mathrm{B}\) after collision is written as \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{10} \;\mathrm{J}\) The value of \(x\) is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By conservation of linear momentum :

\((0.1)(3 \hat{\mathrm{i}})+(0.1)(5 \hat{\mathrm{j}})=(0.1)(4)(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}})+(0.1) \overline{\mathrm{v}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=-\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}\)

Speed of \(\mathrm{B}\) after collision \(|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}|=\sqrt{2}\)

Now, kinetic energy \(=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mV}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)(2)=\frac{1}{10}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{x}=1\)
