प्रश्न
A molecule in a gas container hits a horizontal wall with speed 200 m s–1 and angle 30° with the normal, and rebounds with the same speed. Is momentum conserved in the collision? Is the collision elastic or inelastic?

उत्तर
Speed of molecule u = 200 m s-1, θ = 30°
Speed after rebound ν = 200 m s-1
∵ Momentum is conserved in every type of collision.
Therefore, momentum will be conserved in this collision also.
kinetic energy of the system when hitting the wall `"K"_1 = 1/2 "m""u"^2`
= `1/2"m" (200)^2 "J"`
kinetic energy after collision `"K"_2 = 1/2 "m""ν"^2`
= `1/2"m" (200)^2 "J"`
∴ The collision is elastic collision.

Two blocks M1 and M2 having equal mass are free to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. M2 is attached to a massless spring as shown in figure. Iniially M2 is at rest and M1 is moving toward M2 with speed v and collides head-on with M2.
- While spring is fully compressed all the KE of M1 is stored as PE of spring.
- While spring is fully compressed the system momentum is not conserved, though final momentum is equal to initial momentum.
- If spring is massless, the final state of the M1 is state of rest.
- If the surface on which blocks are moving has friction, then collision cannot be elastic.
