Two masses, and are connected by an inextensible light string. The string is passing over a light frictionless pulley. The mass is resting on a surface and mass is hanging in the air as shown in the figure. A particle of mass, strikes the mass, from below in case with a velocity and in case strikes mass with a velocity from top and sticks to it.


The ratio of velocities of mass just after collision in
first and second cases is .


Important Questions on Impulse and Collision



a plane surface.




A ball of mass is dropped from a height of on smooth inclined plane. The coefficient of restitution for the collision is The ball's velocity become horizontal after the collision.

A pendulum bob of mass connected to the end of an ideal string of length is released from rest from horizontal position as shown in figure. At the lowest point, the bob makes an elastic collision with a stationary block of mass which is kept on a frictionless surface. Mark out the correct statement(s) for the instant just after the impact.
