A small smooth disc of mass and radius moving with an initial velocity along the positive -axis collided with a big disc of mass and radius which was initially at rest with its centre at origin as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of restitution is , then the velocity of the larger disc after the collision is


Options
- A\dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
- B\dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
- C\dfrac{v}{3}\overset{^}{i}
- D\dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
Correct answer
A. \dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
Step-by-step solution

The larger disc will move along line of impact
As , so velocity of larger disc
Velocity of larger disc
= v^{'}\text\cos\theta\overset{^}{i} - v^{'}\text\sin\theta\overset{^}{j}
= \dfrac{v}{3}\cos^{2}\theta\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{v}{3}\text\sin\theta\text\cos\theta\overset{^}{j}
( from the figure we can calculate , )
= \dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
