    A small particle of mass m moving inside a heavy hollow and straight tube along the tube axis undergoes elastic collision at two ends. The tube has no friction and it is closed at one end by a flat surface while the other end is fitted with a heavy movable flat piston as shown in figure. When the distance of the piston from closed end is the particle speed is \[v\,=\,{{v}_{0}}.\] The piston is moved inward at a very low speed V such that \[\text{V}\,<<\,\frac{\text{dL}}{\text{L}}{{\text{V}}_{0}}.\] Where \[dL\] the infinitesimal displacement of the piston. Which of the following statements) is/are correct?

    A) After each collision with the piston, the particle speed increases by 2V

    B) If the piston moves inward by dL, the particle speed increases by \[2v\frac{d\text{L}}{\text{L}}\]

    C) The rate at which the particle strikes the piston is v/L.

    D) The particle's kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4 when the piston is moved inward from \[{{\text{L}}_{0}}\] to \[\frac{1}{2}{{\text{L}}_{0}}.\]

    Correct Answer: A , D

    Solution :

    Initial : \[v={{v}_{0}}\]
    Distance, \[x={{\text{L}}_{0}}\]
                \[dt=\frac{dx}{v},\]\[dt'=\frac{2x}{v}\]
    No. of collision \[=n=\frac{v}{2x}\]
    Total in\[dt=\,\text{N}\,=\,\frac{v}{2x}.\frac{dx}{v}\]
    Speed change in dx shifting \[=dv=\frac{vdx}{2xv}.2v\]
     \[\therefore \]     \[dv=\frac{vdx}{x}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[dv=v\frac{dL}{\text{L}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\int_{{{v}_{0}}}^{v'}{\frac{dv}{v}=\int_{l}^{1/2}{\frac{d\text{L}}{\text{L}}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\text{V}'\,=\,2{{\text{V}}_{0}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      KE is 4 times.

    Solution :

    Same as above
