Sheet 01

  1. A bullet of mass \(100g\) is fired from a gun of mass \(20kg\) with a speed of \(50ms^{-1}\). Calculate: the recoil velocity of the gun?

    Ans: \(0.25\frac{m}{s}\).

  2. A bomb of mass \(10kg\) explodes into two equal fragments. At what angle those fragments fly apart?

    Ans: \(180^{o}\).

  3. A hunter has a machine gun that can fire \(50g\) bullet with a speed of \(300ms^{-1}\). How many bullets must the hunter fire in to the tiger in order to stop him in track?

    Ans: \(40\).

  4. A gun weighing \(4kg\) fire a bullet of \(80g\) with a velocity of \(120ms^{-1}\). With what velocity does the gun recoils?

    Ans: \(2.4\frac{m}{s}\).

  5. A car of mass \(1000kg\) travelling at \(32ms^{-1}\) dashes into rear of a truck of mass \(8000kg\) moving in the same direction with a velocity of \(4ms^{-1}\). After the collision car bounces with a velocity of \(8ms^{-1}\). What is the velocity of the truck after the impact?

    Ans: \(9\frac{m}{s}\).

  6. A machine gun of mass \(10kg\) fires \(30g\) bullets at a rate of \(10\) bullets per second with a speed of \(500ms^{-1}\). What force is required to hold the gun in position?

    Ans: \(150N\).

  7. A man weighing \(60kg\) runs along the rails with a velocity \(18kmh^{-1}\) and jumps into a car of mass \(1 quintal\) standing on the rail. Calculate: the velocity with which the car will starts travelling along rails after man steps on the car?

    Ans: \(1.88\frac{m}{s}\).

  8. A neutron of mass \(\left(1.67\times10^{-27}\right)kg\) is moving with a speed of \(10^{8}ms^{-1}\) collides with a deutron at rest and sticks with it. If, the mass of the deutron is \(\left(3.34\times10^{-27}\right)kg\), then what is the speed of the combination?

    Ans: \(\left(3.33\times10^{7}\right)\frac{m}{s}\).

  9. A body of mass \(1kg\) initially at rest explodes and breaks into \(3\) fragments of masses in the ratio \(1:1:3\). The two fragments of equal masses flyoff with a velocity \(30ms^{-1}\) each, in direction perpendicular to each other. What is the velocity of the heavier fragments?

    Ans: \(14.14\frac{m}{s}\).
