उत्तर
Given:
Initial velocity of 2 kg block, v1 = 1.0 m/s
Initial velocity of the 4 kg block, v2 = 0
Let the velocity of 2 kg block, just before the collision be u1.

Using the work-energy theorem on the block of 2 kg mass:
The separation between two blocks, s = 16 cm = 0.16 m
\[\therefore \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)m \times u_1^2 - \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)m \times (1 )^2 = - \mu \times mg \times s \]
\[ \Rightarrow u_1 = \sqrt{(1 )^2 - 2 \times 0 . 20 \times 10 \times 0 . 16}\]
\[ \Rightarrow u_1 = 0 . 6 \text{ m/s}\]
As the collision is perfectly elastic, linear momentum is conserved.
Let v1, v2 be the velocities of 2 kg and 4 kg blocks, just after collision.
Using the law of conservation of linear momentum, we can write:
\[m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 \times 0 . 6 + 4 \times 0 = 2 v_1 + 4 v_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 v_1 + 4 v_2 = 1 . 2 . . . (1)\]
For elastic collision,
Velocity of separation (after collision) = Velocity of approach (before collision)
\[i . e . v_1 - v_2 = + ( u_1 - u_2 )\]
\[ = + (0 . 6 - 0)\]
\[ \Rightarrow v_1 - v_2 = - 0 . 6 . . . (2)\]
\[\text{ Substracting equation (2) from (1), we get: }\]
\[3 v_2 = 1 . 2\]
\[ \Rightarrow v_2 = 0 . 4 \text{ m/s}\]
\[ \therefore v_1 = - 0 . 6 + 0 . 4 = - 0 . 2 \text{ m/s} \]
Let the 2 kg block covers a distance of S1.
∴ Applying work-energy theorem for this block, when it comes to rest:
\[\left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times 2 \times (0 )^2 + \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times 2 \times (0 . 2 )^2 = - 2 \times 0 . 2 \times 10 \times S_1 \]
\[ \Rightarrow S_1 = 1 cm .\]
Let the 4 kg block covers a distance of S2.
Applying work energy principle for this block:
\[\left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times 4 \times (0 )^2 - \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times 4 \times (0 . 4 )^2 = - 4 \times 0 . 2 \times 10 \times S_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 \times 0 . 4 \times 0 . 4 = 4 \times 0 . 2 \times 10 \times S_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow S_2 = 4 \text{ cm}\]
Therefore, the distance between the 2 kg and 4 kg block is given as,
S1 + S2 = 1 + 4 = 5 cm
