    A mass of 10 g moving horizontally with a velocity of 100 cm/s strikes a pendulum bob of mass 10 g. The two masses stick together. The maximum  height reached by the system now is (.g = 10 m/s2)

    A)  zero                                     

    B)  5 cm

    C)  2.5cm                                  

    D)  1.25cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     \[{{m}_{1}}=10\text{ }g,\text{ }v=100\text{ }cm/s\] \[{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}=20\text{ }g,\text{ }h=?\] \[g=10\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}=1000\text{ }cm/{{s}^{2}}\] From law of conservation of energy \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})gh\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[h=\frac{{{m}_{1}}v_{1}^{2}}{2({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})g}\] \[\therefore \]  \[h=\frac{10\times 100\times 100}{2\times 20\times 1000}\] \[h=2.5\text{ }cm.\]
