At the beginning and the end of the path of velocity of the body is equal to zero, and therefore the increment of the kinetic energy of the body is also equal to zero. On the other hand, in according with work-energy theorem AT is equal to the algebraic sum of the works A performed by all the forces, ie. by the force F and gravity, over this path. However, since AT= 0 then A = 0. Taking into account that the upward direction is assumed to coincide with the positive direction of the y-axis, we can write h hs A= f Fenih-a *Se,-mow 0 s - mg f (1-209) dy= mgh (1 - ah) = 0. whence h = 1/a.

Thus in our problem body could not reach the upper most point of the vertical track of radius R/2. Let the particle A leave the track at some point O with speed v (Fig.).

It is easy to see that there is no point here, relative to which the moment of force T is invarible in the process of motion. Hence conservation of angular momentum is not applicable here.

Let us consider both blocks and spring as the physical system. The centre of mass of the
system moves with acceleration a = ———— towards right. Let us work in the frame of

centre of mass. As this frame is a non-inertial frame (accelerated with respect to the
ground) we have to apply a pseudo force m,a towards left on the block m,and m, a
towards left on the block m,
As the center of mass is at rest in this frame,
the blocks move in opposite directions and
come to instantaneous rest at some instant. The
elongation of the spring will be maximum or
minimum at this instant. Assume that the block
m, is displaced by the distance x, and the block
m, through a distance x, from the initial

Since, the collision is head on, the particle 1 will continue moving along the same line
as before the collision, but there will be a change in the magnitude of it’s velocity vector.

From the symmetry of the problem, the velocity of the disc A will be directed either in

Therefore, the disc A will recoil if n < VZ and stop if y= v2.

pendicular to the initial direction of disc A and the consevation of kinetic energy instead
of the equation of restitution.
(a) Let a molecule comes with velocity V7 to strike another stationary molecule and just
