Question

A bullet of mass m is fired horizontally into a large sphere of mass M and radius R resting on a smooth horizontal table.
The bullet hits the sphere at a height h from the table and sticks to its surface. If the sphere starts rolling without slipping immediately on impact, then

Solution

The correct option is B hR=10m+7M5(m+M)
Using momentum conservation
V=ωR
mvo=(m+M)V=(m+M)ωR
Conservation of angular momentum about center
mvo(hR)=(2MR25+mR2)ω
on solving we get
h=10m+7M5(m+M)
