Q.

Figure shows a circular frictionless track of radius  R, centred at point O. A particle of mass M is  released from point A (OA = R/2). After collision  with the track, the particle moves along the track and in this case , the coefficient of restitution is  e1.. If the coefficient of restitution is e2, particle moves horizontally just after  collision . Then

Detailed Solution

cosθ=12θ=π3

(a) After collision the particle moves along the track. This means there is no normal component of velocity. Hence  e1=o
(b) Just before collision, the components of velocity along the normal and along the tangent are  
un=usinθut=ucosθ
 

Question Image

During collision utdoes not change. The normal component of velocity becomes  eun along BO 
 

Question Image

Question says that velocity of the particle is horizontal after collision, which means 
utcosθ=e2unsinθ ucos2θ=e2usin2θe2=cot2π3=13
