In the arrangement shown, the pendulum on the left is pulled aside. It is then released and allowed to collide with other pendulums which is at rest. A perfectly inelastic collision occurs and the system rises to a height The ratio of the massesof the pendulum is :



Important Questions on Centre of Mass, Momentum and Collisions
There are a hundred identical sliders equally spaced on a frictionless track as shown in the figure. Initially, all the sliders are at rest. Slider is pushed with velocity towards slider In a collision the sliders stick together. The final velocity of the set of hundred stuck sliders will be:


A particle of mass moves with velocity towards a large wall that is moving with velocity towards the particle as shown. If the particle collides with the wall elastically, the speed of the particle just after the collision is:
