A uniform rod of mass \( \mathrm{m} \) and length \( 2 a \) lies at rest on a smooth horizontal table. A perfectly elastic particle of same mass \( \mathrm{m} \), moving with speed \( \mathrm{v} \) on the table in a direction perpendicular to the rod, strikes one end of the rod. The kinetic energy generated in the rod is

The correct answer is:
\( \frac{8}{25} \mathrm{mv}^{2} \)
From conservation of linear momentum we have,
...(1)
From conservation of angular momentum about centre
of rod we have,
or ...(2)
Further from the definition of coefficient of restitution
(e = 1) at point of impact.
Relative speed of approach = relative speed of separation
∴ ...(3)
solving these three Eqs. (1), (2) and (3) we get,
∴ Kinetic energy of rod,
