Physics - Rotation Question with Solution | TestHub
A smooth rod AC of length and mass m is kept on a horizontal smooth plane. It is free to rotate and move. A particle of same mass m moving on the plane with velocity v strikes rod at point B making angle with the rod. The collision is elastic. After collision :

Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
The ball has V', component of its velocity perpendicular to the length of rod immediately after the collision. u is velocity of COM of the rod and is angular velocity of the rod, just after collision. The ball strikes the rod with speed vcos53° in perpendicular direction and its component along the length of the rod after the collision is unchanged. Using for the point of collision. Velocity of separation = Velocity of approach

Conserving linear momentum (of rod + particle), in the direction ⟂ to the rod.
Conserving angular moment about point ' D ' as shown in the figure
By solving
Time taken to rotate by angle

In the same time, distance travelled Using angular impulse-angular momentum equation.
