Question

A sphere of radius R and mass M collides elastically with a cubical block of mass M and side 2R. The entire system is on a smooth horizontal ground. Given that the sphere was rolling without slipping with an angular velocity ω at the time of collision. The velocities of the sphere and the block after the collision are :

Solution

The correct option is B ωsphere=ω,vsphere=0,vblock=v
Conservation of Angular momentum
Iw+m.V1iR=Iw+mV1fR+mV2fR
where V1f final velocity of sphere
V2f final velocity of block-----(1)
For elastic collision, we know
V1f=(m1m2m1+m2)V1i+2 m1m1+m2V2i
m1=m2 and V2i=0
V2f=(2m1m1+m2)V1i+(m2m1m1+m2)V2i
m1=m2 and V2i=0 V2f=2vi
Using in (1) gives w=w
wsphere=w, Vsphere=0, Vblock=V
