JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is lying on a horizontal frictionless surface. A particle of mass ' \(m\) ' travelling along the surface hits at one end of the rod with velocity \('u'\) in a direction perpendicular to the rod. The collision is completely elastic. After collision, particle comes to rest. The ratio of masses \(\left(\frac{m}{M}\right)\) is \(\frac{1}{x}\). The value of ' \(x\) ' will be ..... .

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(14\)
  4. D \(23\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Just after collision From momentum conservation, \({P}_{{i}}^{\circ}={p}_{{F}}\) \(m u=M v \ldots \ldots(i)\) From angular momentum conservation about \(O,\) \(mu. \,l\frac{L}{2}=\frac{M L^{2}}{12} \omega\) \(\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{6 {mu}}{{ML}} \quad \cdots . . (ii)\) From…
