(A) Since angular velocity is in opposite direction and external force acting on the system is friction which passes through point of contact therefore angular momentum will be conserved around point of contact.
Initially ball moves in right direction and angular velocity is in anticlockwise therefore, if
v′ is final velocity and
ω′ is final angular velocity
Now initial angular momentum around point of contact
Li=mvoR−IωoLi=mvoR−3mR23vo/2RLi=mvoR−9mvoR/2=−7mvoR/2Therefore, final angular momentum will also be negative therefore, ball will return in its journey.
A->3
(B) Initial angular momentum Li=mvoR+3mR22vo/2R=4mvoR
Let final linear velocity be v′
Lf=mv′R+3mv′R/2=5mv′R/2=Li
Therefore, v′=8v0/5
InitialKEi=mv2o/2+Iω2o/2=mv2o/2+mR2v2o/4R2=3mv2o/4
final KEf=3mv′2/4=3m64v2o/100=192mv2o/100
Clearly Final KE>1/2(initialKE)
B->2,4
(C) Initial KE=mv2o/2
Angular momentum around point of contact is conserved.
Li=mvoR
Lf=mv′R+3mv′R/2=5mv′R/2=Li
this gives v′=2vo/5
final KE=mv′2/2+3mR2v′2/4R=5mv′2/4=5m4v2o/100=20mv2o/100
clearly, finalKE≠(initialKE)/2
C->4
(D) No further information is given initial angular momentum is +ve therefore, final will also be +ve.
D->4
