The bob A of a pendulum released from 30° to the vertical hits another bob B of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in Fig. How high does the bob A rise after the collision? Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

The bob A will not rise because when two bodies of same mass undergo an elastic collision, their velocities are interchanged. After collision, ball A will come to rest and the ball B would move with the velocity of A Thus the bob A will not rise after the collision.

In elastic collision the linear momentum is conserved .linear momentum =mass x velocity =mv here mass of A and B are same. so if elastic collision occur then A bobs complete transfer it momentum on bobs B.their velocities interchanged After collision A will come to rest and B moves with velocity of...

If force is acting on a moving body perpendicular to the direction of motion, then what will be its effect on the speed and direction of the body?
The magnitude of velocity shall decrease and direction shall be same till it comes to rest, afterwards it shall move in direction of force with acceleration due to the applied force.
