A ball of mass moving with velocity strikes the bob of a pendulum at rest. The mass of the bob is also . If the collision is perfectly inelastic, the height to which the bob will rise is given by~<!-- MathType@Translator@5@5@MathML2 (namespace attr).tdl@MathML 2.0 (namespace attr)@ --> <!-- MathType@End@5@5@ --> then <!-- MathType@Translator@5@5@MathML2 (namespace attr).tdl@MathML 2.0 (namespace attr)@ --> <!-- MathType@End@5@5@ -->
Correct answer
8
Step-by-step solution
Because the collision is perfectly inelastic, hence the two blocks stick together. By conservation of linear momentum,
or
By conservation of energy,
^{2}\text{h} = {\text{v}}^{2} / 8 \text{g} \text{x} = 8
or
By conservation of energy,
^{2}\text{h} = {\text{v}}^{2} / 8 \text{g} \text{x} = 8
