Important Questions on Impulse and Collision


A small ball is projected horizontally between two large blocks. The ball is given a velocity and each of the large blocks moves uniformly with a velocity of The ball collides elastically with the blocks. If the velocity of the blocks does not change due to the collision, then find out the velocity of the ball after the collision.

A ball is falling vertically downwards with velocity . It strikes elastically with a wedge moving horizontally with velocity as shown in the figure. What must be the ratio so that the ball bounces back perpendicular to the wedge? (Take )


A block of mass is hanging from a massless spring of spring constant It is in equilibrium under the influence of gravitational force. Another particle of same massmoving upwards with velocity, hits the block and sticks to it. For the subsequent motion, choose the incorrect statements:
