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...

Is it possible, the displacement can be greater than the distance travelled by an object?
No, aa for euclidean space, the displacement is always greater than or equal to the distance travelled as goes by it's definition that it is the shortes way possible to reach from point A to point B. And...

What should be the fees for class XI and xii physics per class in Bhubaneswar?
According to me, the best fee will be the changed study pattern of the students from rote to conceptual and being able for themselves to choose what they actually want to do after 12th ( not necessarily engineering or MBBS). Thanks.
