A toy truck of mass 2 m elastically collides with a toy car of mass mm. speed of truck is vv and car is at rest. Find the velocity of car after collision.

Options

  1. A4v3\frac{4 v}{3}
  2. Bv3\frac{v}{3}
  3. Cvv
  4. D2v3\frac{2 v}{3}

Correct answer

A. 4v3\frac{4 v}{3}

Step-by-step solution

Mass of toy truck mt=2 mm_t=2 \mathrm{~m} Mass of toy car mc=m\mathrm{m}_c=\mathrm{m} Initial speed of truck vt=vv_t=v and initial speed of car uc=0u_c=0 If v1andv2v_1 and v_2 be the final velocity of truck and car after collision, then by law of conservation of momentum, Total initial momentum = total final momentum mt⋅ut+mcuc=m4v1+mcv22mv+0=2mv1+mv22v=2v1+v2\begin{aligned} \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{t}} \cdot \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{c}} \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{c}} & =\mathrm{m}_4 \mathrm{v}_1+\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{c}} \mathrm{v}_2 \\ 2 \mathrm{mv}+0 & =2 \mathrm{mv}_1+\mathrm{mv}_2 \\ 2 \mathrm{v} & =2 \mathrm{v}_1+\mathrm{v}_2 \end{aligned} For elastic collision, coefficient of restitution, e=1e=1 i.e. v2−v1u1−uc=1v2−v1v−0=1⇒v=v2−v1\begin{aligned} & \frac{v_2-v_1}{u_1-u_c}=1 \\ & \frac{v_2-v_1}{v-0}=1 \Rightarrow v=v_2-v_1 \end{aligned} Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have v2=4v3\mathrm{v}_2=\frac{4 \mathrm{v}}{3}
