A 100 kg gun fires a ball of 1 kg horizontally from a cliff of height 500 m. It falls on the ground at a distance of 400 m from the bottom of the cliff. Find the recoil velocity of the gun. (acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms–2)

उत्तर
Given, the mass of the gun (m1) = 100
Mass of the ball (m2) = 1 kg
Height of the cliff = 500 m
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball (x) = 400 m
From `h = 1/2 "gt"^2` .....(∵ Initial velocity in the downward direction is zero)
`500 = 1/2 xx 10 t^2`
`t = sqrt(100)` = 10 s
From `x = ut, u = x/t = 400/10` = 40 m/s
It v is the recoil velocity of gun, then according to the principle of conservation of linear momentum,
m1v = m2u
v = `(m_2u)/m_1 = 1/100 xx 40` = 0.4 m/s

Two objects, each of mass 1.5 kg are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is 2.5 m s−1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
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. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
