Q.

A hemispherical bowl is placed in inverted position on frictionless horizontal floor and a small disk is placed on the top of the bowl as shown in the figure. The disk and the bowl are of equal mass and there is no friction between them. The disk is slightly pushed horizontally so that it starts sliding on the bowl with negligible speed.

A) Only vertical force present in the system. So vertical momentum does not change.
B) Also horizontal velocity will remain same.
Let’s work from CM frame, in this frame disk moves in circular path. For circular motion 
mgcosθma0sinθN=mV12R    ……..(i)
'V1' is velocity of disk relative to the hemisphere
According to conservation of linear momentum  m(V1cosθV2)mV2
V2=V1cosθ2                 ………(ii)
WE theorem (for whole system)
mgR(1cosθ)=12mV22+12m{(V1cosV2)2+V12sin2θ}            ……(iii)
At the time of breakoff  N0a00(Because  Nsinθ=ma0)
So from (i)
V12=gRcosθ                      ……..(iv)
Now from (i) and (iii)
2gR(1cosθ)=(V1cosθ)24+(V1cosθ)24+V12sin2θ
=V12cos2θ2+V12(1cos2θ)
2gR(1cosθ)=V12V12cos2θ2
From (iv),
2gR(1cosθ)=gRcosθgRcosθ.cos2θ2
22cosθ=cosθcos3θ2;2(22cosθ)=2cosθcos5θ
  cos3θ6cosθ+4=0(cosθ=31)
(cosθ2)(cos2θ+2cosθ2)=0
cosθ=2±4+82
=1±3
D) Disc will be accelerating only not bowl.
