A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \, ms^{-2}$ along +x direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is 4m. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in +x direction with a speed of $0.3 \, ms^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in -x direction with a speed of $0.2 \, ms^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is
Correct Answer: 8 or 2
Explanation:
Ans. (8 or 2)
Assuming open chamber

$V _ {\mathrm{relative}} = 0. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
$S _ {\mathrm{relative}} = 4 m$
$\mathrm{Time} = \frac {4}{0 . 5} = 8 m / s$
Alternate:
Assuming closed chamber
In the frame of chamber :

Maximum displacement of ball A from its left end is $\frac{u_{A}^{2}}{2a} = \frac{(0.3)^{2}}{2(2)} = 0.0225 \, m$
This is negligible with respect to the length of chamber i.e. 4m. So, the collision will be very close to the left end.
Hence, time taken by ball B to reach left end will be given by
$S = u _ {B} t + \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2}$
$4 = (0. 2) (t) + \frac {1}{2} (2) (t) ^ {2}$
Solving this, we get
$t \approx 2 s$

The speed of A is $100\sqrt{3}$ ms $^{-1}$ . At time t = 0 s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500 m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at $t = t_{0}$ , A just escapes being hit by B, $t_{0}$ in seconds is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Ans. (5)
As observed from A, B moves perpendicular to line of motion of A. It means velocity of B along A is equal to velocity of A
$\begin{array}{l} {V _ {B} \cos 3 0 = 1 0 0 \sqrt {3}} \\ {V _ {B} = 2 0 0} \end{array}$
If A is observer A remains stationary therefore
$t = \frac {5 0 0}{V _ {B} \sin 3 0} = \frac {5 0 0}{1 0 0} = 5$

Correct Answer: 2 or 8
Explanation:
Let us consider motion of two balls with respect to rocket.

Motion of ball A relative to rocket
Maximum distance of ball A from left wall is
$S _ {A} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{2 a} = \frac {0 . 3 \times 0 . 3}{2 \times 2} = \frac {0 . 0 9}{4} \approx 0. 0 2 \mathrm{m} \left\{\because 0 = u ^ {2} - 2 a S \right\}$
So, collision of two balls will take place very near to left wall.
Motion of ball B relative to rocket
$\begin{array}{c c} \longleftarrow 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \\ \longleftarrow \circ & \longleftarrow + \mathrm{ve} \\ 0. 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} & - \mathrm{ve} \end{array}$
$S = u t + \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow - 4 = - 0. 2 t - \left(\frac {1}{2}\right) 2 t ^ {2}$
Solving this equation, we get
$t = 1. 9 \mathrm{s}$
Nearest Integer = 2 s

Motion of ball A relative to rocket
Maximum distance of ball A from left wall is
$S _ {A} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{2 a} = \frac {0 . 3 \times 0 . 3}{2 \times 2} = \frac {0 . 0 9}{4} \approx 0. 0 2 \mathrm{m} \left\{\because 0 = u ^ {2} - 2 a S \right\}$
So, collision of two balls will take place very near to left wall.
Motion of ball B relative to rocket
$\begin{array}{c c} \longleftarrow 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \\ \longleftarrow \circ & \longleftarrow + \mathrm{ve} \\ 0. 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} & - \mathrm{ve} \end{array}$
$S = u t + \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow - 4 = - 0. 2 t - \left(\frac {1}{2}\right) 2 t ^ {2}$

If at $t=t_{0}$ , A just escapes being hit by B, $t_{0}$ in seconds is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:

For relative motion perpendicular to line of motion of $A$
$V _ {A} = 1 0 0 \sqrt {3} = V _ {B} \cos 3 0 ^ {\circ}$
$\Rightarrow V _ {B} = 2 0 0 m / s$
$t _ {0} = \frac {5 0 0}{V _ {B} \sin 3 0 ^ {\circ}} = \frac {5 0 0}{2 0 0 \times \frac {1}{2}} = 5 \mathrm{sec}.$

At the same time, another ball is thrown in -x direction with a speed of $0.2 \, ms^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:

Consider motion of two balls with respect to rocket
Maximum distance of ball A from left wall = $\frac{u^{2}}{2a} = \frac{0.3 \times 0.3}{2 \times 2} = \frac{0.09}{4} \approx 0.02m$ So collision of two balls will take place very near to left wall
For B $S = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \Rightarrow -4 = -0.2t - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) 2t^{2}$ $\Rightarrow t^{2} + 0.2t - 4 = 0$ $\Rightarrow t = \frac{-0.2 \pm \sqrt{0.04 + 16}}{2} = 1.9$ Nearest integer = 2 s.
