Answer to: A hammer of mass 500 g, moving at 50 m s^-1, strikes a nail. The nail stops the hammer in a very short time of 0.01 s. What is the force of the nail on the hammer?

The force of nail on the hammer, F = F = = = -2500 N Minus sign denotes the force exerted by the nail on the hammer is acting in the dire...

Answer to: Two persons manage to push a motorcar of mass 1200 kg at a uniform velocity along a level road. The same motorcar can be pushed by three persons to produce an acceleration of 0.2 m s^2.

Here, mass of motorcar, m = 1200 kg Let each person exerts a force F on the motorcar. Total force of two persons = F + F = 2 F As this force gives a u...

Answer to: How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer to the floor if it falls from a height of 80 cm? Take its downward acceleration to be 10 ms^-2.

Here, m = 10 kg, s = 80 cm = 0.8 m, a = 10 ms-2 u = 0, v = ?, p = ? From, v2 - u2 = 2as, v2 - 0 = 2 x 10 x 0.8 = 16 or v = Momentum transferr...

Answer to: Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen.

Kiran’s suggestion is incorrect as momentum is always conserved, i.e., change in momentum of insect must be equal to that of motorcar. Akhtar’s sugges...

Answer to: An object of mass 1 kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 10 m s^-1 collides with, and sticks to, a stationary wooden block of mass 5 kg.

Mass of object, m1 = 1 kg Velocity of object before collision, u1 = 10 ms-1 Mass of wooden block, m2 = 5 kg Velocity of wooden block before co...

Answer to: A bullet of mass 10 g travelling horizontally with a velocity of 150 m s^-1 strikes a stationary wooden block and comes to rest in 0.03 s.

Mass of bullet (m) = 10 g = 0.01 kg Initial velocity of bullet (u) = 150 m s-1 Final velocity of bullet (v) = 0 Time (t) = 0.03 s Acceleration o...

Answer to: Two objects, each of mass 1.5 kg, are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions.

Let the two object be A and B. Mass of object A, m1 = 1.5 kg Mass of object B, m2 = 1.5 kg Velocity of object A before collision, u1 = -2.5 ms...

Answer to: Using a horizontal force of 200 N, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant velocity. What is the friction force that will be exerted on the cabinet?

The cabinet will move with constant velocity, if net external force acting on it is zero. Since a horizontal force of 200 N acts on the cabinet in the...

Answer to: An automobile vehicle has a mass of 1500 kg. What must be the force between the vehicle and road if the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of 1.7 m s^-2?

Here, m = 1500 kg, a = -1.7 ms-2, F = ? F = ma F = 1500(-1.7)N = -2550 N Negative sign indicates that the force is opposing the motion of the ve...
