A particle of mass m moving with velocity Vo strikes a simple pendulum of mass m and sticks to it . The max. ht

Question

attained by the pendulum will be

[A] h= Vo 2/ 8g

[B] [Vog] 1/2

[C] 2 [Vu200bu200bu200bu200bu200bu200bo/g]1/2

[D] V2u200bu200bu200bu200bo /4g

Answer 1

Answer: v2/8g

Explanation:

Let us take that the pendulum is at rest initially and after the collision the velocity of the system is V . Now from the conservation of momentum we have ,

Initial Momentum = Final Momentum
