Question

Two identical balls are released from positions as shown. They collide elastically on horizontal surface. Ratio of heights attained by A & B after collision is (All surfaces are smooth, neglect energy loss at M & N)

Options

A.1 : 4
B.2 : 1
C.4 : 13
D.2 :5

Solution

Sol.

u = $\sqrt{2g(4h)}$

Height of A = $\frac{({usin}45{^\circ})^{2}}{2g}$

= $\frac{V^{2} \times \frac{1}{2}}{2g} = \frac{2g(4h)\frac{1}{2}}{2g}$

= 2 h.

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

max height = $\frac{({Vsin}60{^\circ})^{2}}{2g}$

= $\frac{V^{2} \cdot \frac{3}{4}}{2g}$

= $\frac{(2gh)\frac{3}{4}}{2g}$

= $\frac{3h}{4}$
