6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$, collide with the wall elastically as shown in the figure.After impact the change in angular momentum about $P$ is:

A

$2\, mvd$

B

$2\, mvd\, cos\theta$

C

$2\, mvd \,sin \theta$

D

zero

Solution

There is a change of velocity only in the $x$ direction, thus angular momentum also changes in $x$ direction only. The initial angular momentum in $x$ direction is $mvdcos\theta .$ And since the collision involved is perfectly elastic, thus the change in momentum is simply twice the initial momentum i.e. $2$ $mvdcos\theta$
