A small smooth disc of mass mm and radius rr moving with an initial velocity vv along the positive xx-axis collided with a big disc of mass 2m2m and radius 2r2r which was initially at rest with its centre at origin as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of restitution is 00, then the velocity of the larger disc after the collision is

A small smooth disc of mass m and radius r moving with an initial velocity v along the positive x -axis collided with a

Options

  1. A\dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
  2. B\dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
  3. C\dfrac{v}{3}\overset{^}{i}
  4. 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

A small smooth disc of mass m and radius r moving with an initial velocity v along the positive x -axis collided with a

The larger disc will move along line of impact

As e=0e = 0, so velocity of larger disc

v′=mv cosθm+2m=v cosθ3v^{′} = \dfrac{\text{mv cos} \theta}{\text{m} + 2 \text{m}} = \dfrac{\text{v cos} \theta}{3}

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 cosθ=223cos\theta = \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}, sinθ=13sin\theta = \dfrac{1}{3} )

= \dfrac{8}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{27}\text{v}\overset{^}{j}
