The track shown in figure is frictionless. The block $B$ of mass $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is lying at rest and the block $A$ of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is pushed along the track with speed. The collision between $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ is perfectly elastic. With what velocity should the block $A$ be started to get the sleeping man awakened?
Use C.O.L.M,
$m \cdot V_{1}=2 m(0)=m \cdot V_{2}+(2 m)\left(V_{3}\right)$
When B reaches man,
Use C.O.E.L,
$V_{3}=\sqrt{2 g h}$
$\Rightarrow V_{1}-V_{2}=2 V_{3}=2 \sqrt{2 g h}-(1)$
$\frac{1}{2} m V_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m V_{2}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(2 m) V_{3}^{2}$
$V_{1}^{2}-V_{2}^{2}=2 V_{3}^{2}=2(2 g h)-(3)$
Solve (1) and (2) to get
$\frac{V_{1}-V_{2}}{V_{1}^{2}-V_{2}^{2}}=\frac{2 \sqrt{2 g h}}{2 \sqrt{2 g h}}=\sqrt{2 g h}$
$V_{1}-V_{2}=2 \sqrt{2 g h}$
$2 V_{1}=3 \sqrt{2 g h}$
$V_{1}=\frac{3}{2} \sqrt{2 g h}$
Use $V_{1}^{2}=u^{2}+2 g h$
$u=\sqrt{V_{1}^{2}-2 g h}$
$=2.5 \sqrt{2 g h}$
Block's initial velocity $>2.5 \sqrt{2 g h}$
$\frac{1}{2} 2 m(0)^{2}-\frac{1}{2} \times 2 m\left(V_{3}^{2}\right)=m g h$
