a disc of mass M and radius R is rolling purely with center's velocity v 0 on a flat horizontal floor when it hits a step in the floor of height R/4 .the corner of the step is sufficiently rough to prevent any slipping of the disc against itself.what is the velocity of the disc just after the impact?

Dear akash

7169-920_7662_untitled.JPG

initially it is purelly rorating

so w=v/R

initial angular momentum about point A

Li = I (Vo/R)  + mV0 (3R/4)

= MRVo/2  + 3/4MRVo

= 5/4MRVo

just after the impact sphear start rorating about point A

Lf  = MV1R

so

5/4MRVo  = MV1R

V1 =5/4V0

The initial angular momentum about the point A 
L = (mr^2)w/2 + m(3r/4)v = (5mrv)/4
 
 
FInal angular momentum about point A , assuming the new angular velocity to be W
L=  (mr^2W)/2 + mr(Wr) = (3mWr^2)/2
 
Now equating both angular momentums;
 
5mrv/4 = (3mVr^2)/2
 
V=5v/6
