Question

A uniform smooth rod (mass m and length l) placed on a smooth horizontal floor is hit by a particle (mass m) moving on the floor, at a distance l4 from one end elastically (e=1). The distance travelled by the centre of the rod after the collision when it has completed three revolutions will be:

Solution

The correct option is D 2πl
Applying conservation of linear momentum,
mv=mv+mVv=v+V ....(i)
Applying conservation of angular momentum about the collision point.
0=(ml212)ωmV(l4)lω=3V .....(ii)
Applying restituting equation
(u1u2)n=(v2v1)n(v0)=(Vv) .....(iii)
Solving Eqs. (i), (ii), and (iii) we get V=v and
ω=3vl
Time taken to complete three revolutions (θ=6π)
t=θω=6πω=6πl3v=2πlv
Hence, distance travelled by the centre of the rod is
s=Vt=v(2πlv)=2πl
