MCQ
Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ are released from the positions shown in figure. They collide elastically on horizontal portion $MN$. The ratio of the height attained by $A$ and $B$ after collision will be: (neglect friction)
  • A
    $1 : 4$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • $4 : 13$
  • D
    $2 : 5$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4 : 13$
c
After the collision the balls exchange their velocities, i.e.

$v_{A}=\sqrt{2 g h} \quad \text { and } \quad v_{B}=2 \sqrt{2 g h}$

Height attained by $A$ will be

$\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{g}}=\mathrm{h}$            $...(1)$

But path of $B$ will be first straight line from $N$ to $\mathrm{P}$ and then parabolic from point $\mathrm{P}$ as shown in fig.

Calculation of max height attained by $B.$ velocity of $\mathrm{B}$ at point $\mathrm{P}$

$\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\prime 2}=\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}}^{2}-2 \mathrm{gh}=6 \mathrm{gh}$             $...(2)$

After reaching at point $P$ it will move in parabolic height.

So here $h^{\prime}=\frac{v_{B}^{\prime 2}\left(\sin 60^{\circ}\right)^{2}}{2 g}=\frac{9 h}{4}$

$\Rightarrow$ max. height attained by $\mathrm{B}$

$h_{B}=h+h^{\prime}=h+\frac{9 h}{4}=\frac{13 h}{4}$         $...(3)$

from eq" $( 1)$ $\&$ $(3)$

$\frac{h_{A}}{h_{B}}=\frac{4}{13}$
