Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is and the kinetic energy is
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is
, but the kinetic energy is reduced to
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
Answer:
v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]
Explanation:
The free body diagram for the car is presented in the attached image to this answer.
The forces acting on the car include the weight of the car, the normal reaction of the plane on the car, the frictional force on the car and the net force on the car which is the centripetal force on the car keeping it in circular motion without slipping.
Resolving the weight into the axis parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane,
N = mg cos θ
And the component parallel to the inclined plane that slides the body down the plane at rest = mg sin θ
Frictional force = Fr = μN = μmg cos θ
Centripetal force responsible for keeping the car in circular motion = (mv²/R)
So, a force balance in the plane parallel to the inclined plane shows that
Centripetal force = (mg sin θ - Fr) (since the car slides down the plane at rest, (mg sin θ) is greater than the frictional force)
(mv²/R) = (mg sin θ - μmg cos θ)
v² = R(g sin θ - μg cos θ)
v² = gR (sin θ - μcos θ)
v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]
Hope this Helps!!!
