Q.2 Answer:
1−e
1+e
Solution:

As u2 = 0 and m1 = m2 , therefore from m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m1 v1 + m2 v2

we get u1 = v1 + v2
 v2 −v1 v2 −v1 1−v1 /v2
Also, e = u1 = v2 +v1 = 1+v1 /v2 ,

Let m= m1 and M = m2
m1 = 2 kg
u1 = 4 m/s
u1 4
v1 = = = 1 m/s
4 4
u2 = 0
since nothing is given so we would take it as elastic collision. hence conservation of momentum is given by:
m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m1 v1 + m2 v2
2 × 4 + 0 = 2 × 1 + m2 v 2
m2 v2 = 6
according to the conservation kinetic energy:

U = 0 at x = 0 and at x = a ; ⇒ we have potential energy zero twice (out of which one is at
origin). Also, when we put x = 0 in the given function, we get F = 0. But F = − dU

Q.7 Answer:
0.67 J
Solution:

Initial kinetic energy of the system

K.Ei = 12 mu2 + 12 M (0)2 = 1
× 0.5 × 2 × 2 + 0 = 1J
2
For collision, applying conservation of linear momentum m × u = (m + M) × v
∴ 0.5 × 2 = (0.5 + 1) × v ⇒ v = 23 m/s
Final kinetic energy of the system is K ⋅ Ef = 12 ( m + M)v2 = 12 (0.5 + 1) × 23 × 2
3 = 1
3 J
∴ Energy loss during collision = (1 − 13 ) J = 0.67 J
