Question:
Two billiard balls of equal mass $30 \mathrm{~g}$ strike a rigid wall with same speed of $108 \mathrm{kmph}$ (as shown) but at different angles. If the balls get reflected with the same speed then the ratio of the magnitude of impulses imparted to ball ' $a$ ' and ball ' $b$ ' by the wall along ' $X$ ' direction is :
Correct Option: , 2
Solution:
Impulse $=$ change in momentum
Ball (a) $|\overrightarrow{\Delta \mathrm{p}}|=2 \mathrm{mu}=\mathrm{J}_{1}$
Ball (b) $|\overrightarrow{\Delta \mathrm{p}}|=2 \mathrm{mu} \cos 45^{\circ}=\mathrm{J}_{2}$
$\frac{J_{1}}{J_{2}}=\frac{1}{\cos 45^{\circ}}=\sqrt{2}$
