As shown below, bob A of a pendulum having massless string of length 'R' is released from 60° to the vertical. It hits another bob B of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob A after the collision will be (take g as acceleration due to gravity.)

JEE Main 2025 (Online) 29th January Morning Shift Physics - Center of Mass and Collision Question 3 English Explanation

Velocity of a just before hitting :

u=2 gR2=gR

Just after collision, let velocity of A and B are v1\mathrm{v}_1 and v2v_2 respectively

∴ by COM: 

mu=mv1+m2v22v1+v2=2u...... (i)e=1=v2−v1u⇒v2−v1=u...... (ii)

From (i) -(ii)

⇒3v1=u⇒v1=u3=13gR
