Question
A thin spherical shell lying on a rough horizontal surface is hit by a cue in such a way that the line of action passes through the centre of the shell. As a result, the shell starts moving with a linear speed v without any initial angular velocity. Find the linear speed of the shell after it starts pure rolling on the surface.

Answer


The shell will move with a velocity nearly equal to v due to this motion a frictional force well act in the background direction, for which after some time the shell attains a pure rolling. If we consider moment about A, then it will be zero.

Therefore, Net angular momentum about A before pure rolling = net angular momentum after pure rolling.

Now, angular momentum before pure rolling about A = M(V × R) and angular momentum after pure rolling:

$\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\text{MR}^2\times\Big(\frac{\text{V}_0}{\text{R}}\Big)+\text{MV}_0\text{R}$

(V0 = velocity after pure rolling)

$\Rightarrow\text{MVR}=\frac{2}3{}\text{MV}_0\text{R}+\text{MV}_0\text{R}$

$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)\text{V}_0=\text{V}$

$\Rightarrow\text{V}_0=\frac{3\text{V}}{5}$
