A ball of mass m hits a wedge of mass '2m' with velocity 'v 0 ' in horizontal direction and moves
in vertically upward direction with velocity 'v 0 /2'. There is no friction between wedge and the surface
A
Coefficient of restitution between ball and wedge is 1
B
Coefficient of restitution between ball and wedge is 
C
Impulse on wedge due to ball is 
D
Impulse on wedge due to surface is 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, c, d)
Momentum of ball + wedge system is conserved in horizontal direction
v = v 0 /2
v = velocity of wedge after collision.
e = 
= 1
Impulse on wedge due to ball = Impulse on ball due to wedge = change in momentum of ball.
= 
= 
mv 0
Impulse on wedge due to surface
= Change in momentum of ball + wedge system
=
