JEE PHYSICS MCQ: SYSTEM OF PARTICLES

Application +4 | -1
A smooth sphere AA is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed ω\omega and centre of mass velocity vv. It collides elastically and head on with an identical sphere BB at rest. Neglect friction everywhere. After the collision, their angular speeds are ωA\omega_A and ωB\omega_B, respectively. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
ωA=ω\omega_{\mathrm{A}}=\omega
Option C (ωA=ω\omega_{\mathrm{A}}=\omega) is correct because in an elastic head-on collision with an identical sphere at rest, sphere A transfers its linear velocity to sphere B, but its angular velocity remains unchanged due to the absence of friction.
