Question

A ball kept in a closed container moves in it making collision with the walls. The container is kept on a smooth surface. The velocity of the centre of mass of :
  1. the ball relative to container remains fixed.
  2. the ball remains fixed
  3. the container remains fixed
  4. both container and ball remain fixed.

A
the ball relative to container remains fixed.
B
the ball remains fixed
C
the container remains fixed
D
both container and ball remain fixed.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Since the container is closed, the collisions made by ball with the walls of container will not affect the mass of container and in turn there is no change in velocity of center of mass hence, both container and ball remain fixed.

A small metallic ball is placed in a liquid filled in a closed container. Initially, the ball is at rest with respect to the container. Now the container is accelerated with an acceleration of 2m/s2 towards the right. The density of the ball is thrice that of the liquid. Find the time (in seconds) after which the ball will collide with the wall of the container at a distance of 6m. (neglect viscous forces and assume the floor of the container to be smooth)
