    A mass of 10 gm moving with a velocity of 100 cm/s strikes a pendulum bob of mass 10 gm. The two masses stick together. The maximum height reached by the system now is \[(g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}})\]                         [MP PET 1993]

    A)             Zero    

    B)             5 cm

    C)             2.5 cm

    D)               1.25 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Initially mass 10 gm  moves with velocity 100 cm/s             \ Initial momentum = 10 × 100 = \[1000\frac{gm\times m}{\sec }\]             After collision system moves with velocity \[{{v}_{\text{sys}\text{.}}}\] then             Final momentum = \[(10+10)\times {{v}_{\text{sys}\text{.}}}\]              By applying the conservation of momentum             10000 = \[20\times {{v}_{\text{sys}\text{.}}}\]Þ \[{{v}_{\text{sys}\text{.}}}==50\ cm/s\]             If system rises upto height h then             \[h=\frac{v_{\text{sys}\text{.}}^{\text{2}}}{2g}=\frac{50\times 50}{2\times 1000}=\frac{2.5}{2}=1.25\ cm\]
