Question

A small metal bearing of mass m1=30 g, moving with a velocity of v1=25 m/s collides elastically with a huge sphere of mass 200 kg moving with a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the velocity of the small metal bearing after colliision?

Solution

The correct option is B 19 m∕s opposite to the original direction
Given:
Mass of small metal bearing;m1=30 g=30×103 kg
Mass of huge sphere; m2=200 kg
Initial velocity of small metal bearing ;u1=25 m/s
Initial velocity of huge sphere;u2=3 m/s
Let final velocity of small metal bearing be v1.

From the concept of collision we know
v1=(m1m2m1+m2)u1+2m2u2m1+m2
[Asm1m2<<<1]
v1=u1+2u2
=(25+2×3) m/s
=19 m/s
Here ve indicates that small bearing starts moving opposite to its original direction.
