An oscillator of mass MM is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential, V=12k(x–X)2V = \dfrac{1}{2}k{\left(x – X\right)}^{2} . A particle of mass mm comes from the right with speed uu and collides completely inelastic with MM and sticks to it. This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position. The amplitude of oscillations after 1313 collisions is: \left(M = 10, m = 5, u = 1, k = 1\right)An oscillator of mass M is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential, V = (1)/(2)k (x – X) ^ 2 . A particle of

Options

  1. A23\dfrac{2}{3}
  2. B13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
  3. C35\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{5}}
  4. D12\dfrac{1}{2}

Correct answer

B. 13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

Step-by-step solution

In the first collision& mu\text{mu} momentum will be imparted to the system. In the second collision when the momentum of (M+m)( M + m ) is in the opposite direction mu momentum of the particle will make its momentum zero. On 13th{13}^{th} collision,~

An oscillator of mass M is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential, V = (1)/(2)k (x – X) ^ 2 . A particle of
Applying momentum conservation
mu=(M+13m)vmu = ( M + 13m ) v

⇒v=muM+13m=u15⇒ v = \dfrac{mu}{M + 13m} = \dfrac{u}{15}~⇒M=2m⇒ M = 2m
⇒v=\omegaA⇒ v = \omegaA

⇒u15=KM+13m×A⇒ \dfrac{u}{15} = \sqrt{\dfrac{K}{M + 13m}} \times A

⇒A=115751=13⇒ A = \dfrac{1}{15}\sqrt{\dfrac{75}{1}} = \dfrac{1}{3}
