Two particles A and B, move with constant velocities v1 and v2. At the initial moment their position vectors are r1 and r2 respectively. The condition for particles A and B for their collision is

  1. r1 v1 = r2 v2
  2. r1 - r2 = v1 - v2
  3. r1 - r2| r1 - r2| = v2 - v1| v2 - v1|
  4. r1 v1 = r2 v2

Answer

(3) r1 - r2| r1 - r2| = v2 - v1| v2 - v1|

Solution

For collision, both particles must be at the same point at some time t > 0:

r1 + v1t = r2 + v2t

r1 - r2 = ( v2 - v1)t

∵ t is a positive scalar, r1 - r2 and v2 - v1 must point in the same direction.

∴ Their unit vectors are equal: r1 - r2| r1 - r2| = v2 - v1| v2 - v1|

Answer: (3)

A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 m s-1 and angle with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 m s-1 at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet (in m s-2) is (Given g = 9.8 m s-2)
