Inelastic Sphere Collision!

A uniform rigid sphere having radius R R moving with velocity v o { v }_{ o } and angular velocity ω o = v o R { \omega }_{ o } =\cfrac { { v }_{ o } }{ R } strikes a horizontal rough surface having coefficient of friction μ \mu . If coefficient of restitution for collision is e = 1 / 2 e=1/2 .
Let angular velocity and Velocity of centre of sphere after immediately after the collision is in 'x' and 'y' direction will be expressed as :

v x = a b × μ v o v y = c d × v o ω " = ( α β × μ ) γ R × v o \begin{aligned} { v }_{ x } &= \cfrac { a }{ b } \times \mu { v }_{ o }\\ { v }_{ y }&= \cfrac { c }{ d } \times { v }_{ o }\\ { { \omega } }^{ " }&= \cfrac { (\alpha -\beta \times \mu ) }{ \gamma R } \times { v }_{ o } \end{aligned}


Then find the value of :

a + b + c + d + α + β + γ . a + b + c + d + \alpha +\beta +\gamma.


Details and assumptions

\bullet gcd (a , b ) = 1

\bullet gcd (c,d ) = 1

\bullet gcd ( α \alpha , β \beta ) = 1

\bullet gcd ( γ \gamma , β \beta ) = 1

\bullet All are positive integers.

\bullet Take clockwise direction as positive.

Let after collision sphere moves with velocity in + ve X- direction and in + ve Y-direction translational and rotate with angular velocity ω \omega in clockwise direction.


Let Impulse due to normal is and friction are J N & J F { J }_{ N }\quad \& \quad { J }_{ F } respectively . Then :


J F = μ J N . . . . ( 1 ) { J }_{ F }\quad =\quad \mu { J }_{ N }\quad \quad .\quad .\quad .\quad .\quad (1) .


X-axis :

J F = m v x 0 . . . ( 2 ) { J }_{ F }\quad =\quad m{ v }_{ x }\quad -\quad 0\quad \quad \quad \quad .\quad .\quad .\quad (2) .


Y-axis:

J N = m v y m ( v o ) . . . . ( 3 ) { J }_{ N }\quad =\quad m{ v }_{ y }\quad -\quad m(-{ v }_{ o })\quad \quad .\quad .\quad .\quad .\quad (3) .


Now , Using Angular momentum conservation about point of contact ( bottom most point )

2 5 m R 2 ω o = 2 5 m R 2 ω + m v x R . . . . ( 4 ) \cfrac { 2 }{ 5 } m{ R }^{ 2 }{ \omega }_{ o }\quad \quad =\quad \cfrac { 2 }{ 5 } m{ R }^{ 2 }{ \omega }\quad +\quad m{ v }_{ x }R\quad \quad \quad .\quad .\quad .\quad .(4) .


Note : One can also use angular impulse equation instead of using Cons. of Angular Momentum


Now using Newtons Law of experiment ( e=1/2 )

e = v o 0 0 v y = 1 2 v y = v o 2 . . . . . ( 5 ) e\quad =\quad \cfrac { -{ v }_{ o }\quad -\quad 0 }{ \quad \quad 0\quad -\quad { v }_{ y }\quad } \quad =\quad \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \\ \\ { v }_{ y }\quad \quad =\quad \cfrac { { v }_{ o } }{ 2 } \quad \quad .\quad .\quad .\quad .\quad .\quad (5) .


Using all equations we get :

v x = 3 2 × μ v 0 v y = v o 2 ω = 4 15 μ 4 R × v 0 \boxed { { v }_{ x }\quad =\quad \cfrac { 3 }{ 2 } \times \mu v_{ 0 }\\ \\ { v }_{ y }\quad \quad =\quad \cfrac { { v }_{ o } }{ 2 } \quad \\ \\ { \omega }\quad =\quad \cfrac { 4-15\mu }{ 4R } \times v_{ 0 } } .

Q.E.D


Note : Here in this question we can't use Linear momentum conservation and energy conservation.

Typo : The initial angular momentum should just be 2 5 m R 2 ω o \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2\omega_o as v o \vec{v_o} and r \vec{r} are anti-parallel.

There is a small assumption you have made in this problem which i wanted to point out. Assume the coefficient of friction was really high then the the impulse provided friction would become zero beyond a certain point as the sphere would be pure rolling. So beyond a certain value , impulse along the x axis will be independent of normal. The above solutions is valid only for coefficient of friction values below a certain limit.

Sorry For Late Replying ! But I do not agree with you, Since I given That Sphere is rigid not an Perpetual body( means not an flexible body Like Crazy Ball ) So It can never be rolled Practically .! Rolling is only Possible if body is perfectly perpetual ( Like Crazy ball ) !

lets take the normal to N and time of contact be t ,as t is very-very small we can neglect gravity effect.

 let the initial velocity be q.

velocity along y axis =Y

velocity along x axis=X
  • ue=Y

  • Nt=m(Y-(-q))

  • Nt(coeff. of friction)={2/5mR^(2)}(W-(-q/R))

  • Nt(coeff. of friction)=m(X-0)
