If a ball strickes with a velocity `u_(1)` at the wall which itself is approaching it with a velocity `u_(2)` then find the velocity of the ball after collision with the wall. |
|
Answer» As the wall is heavy so after collison it will continue to move with the same velocity `u_(2)`. Relative velocity of separation is equal to relative velocity of approach. Hence, `v_(1)-v_(2)=e(u_(1)-u_(2))` `impliesv_(1)(-u_(2))=-e[u_(1)-(-u_(2))]` `implies v_(1)=-e(u_(1)+u_(2))-u_(2)` In case of perfectly elastic collision `e=1` `v_(1)=-u_(1)-u_(2)-u_(3)=-(u_(1)+2u_(2))` Negative sign indicates backward direction. |
