Question
A smooth sphere A is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular velocity ω and centre of mass velocity v. It collides elastically and head on with an identical sphere B at rest. Neglect friction every where. After the collision their angular speed are ωA and ωB respectively. Then,
Options
A.ωA < ωB
B.ωA = ωB
C.ωA = ω
D.ωB = ω
Solution
Since, it is head on elastic collision between two identical spheres, they will exchange their linear velocities i.e., A comes to rest and B starts moving with linear velocity v. As there is no friction anywhere, torque on both the spheres about their centre of mass is zero and their angular velocities remains unchanged. Therefore,
ωA = ω ωB = 0
