A small block of superdense material has a mass of 3 × 1024kg. It is situated at a height h (much smaller than the earth's radius) from where it falls on the earth's surface. Find its speed when its height from the earth's surface has reduce to to h/2. The mass of the earth is 6 × 1024kg.

उत्तर
It is given that h is much lesser than the radius of the earth.
Mass of the earth, Me = 6 × 1024 kg
Mass of the block, Mb = 3 × 1024 kg
Let Ve be the velocity of the earth and Vb be the velocity of the block.
Let the earth and the block be attracted by gravitational force.
Thus, according to the conservation law of energy, the change in gravitational potential energy will be the K.E. of the block.
`GM_eM_b(1/(R + (h/2)) - 1/(R + h)) = (1/2)M_e xx V_e^2 + (1/2)M_b xx V_b^2` ...(i)
The momentum is conserved as only the internal force acts in this system.
MeVe = MbVb
⇒ `V_e = (M_bV_b)/M_e` ...(ii)
Putting in equation (i),
`GM_eM_b[2/(2R + h) - 1/(R + h)]`
= `(1/2) xx M_e^2 xx (M_b^2V_b^2)/M_e^2 + (1/2) xx M_b xx V_b^2`
= `(1/2) xx V_b^2 M_b/M_e + 1/2 xx M_b xx V_b^2`
⇒ `GM_e (2r + 2h - 2R - h)/((2R + h)(R + h))`
= `(1/2) xx V_b^2 xx ((3 xx 10^24)/(6 xx 10^24) + 1)`
⇒ `[(GM xx h)/(2R^2)] = (1/2) xx V_b^2 xx (3/2)`
⇒ `gh = V_b^2 xx (3/2)`
`V_b = (2gh)/3`

A bob suspended from the ceiling of a car which is accelerating on a horizontal road. The bob stays at rest with respect to the car with the string making an angle θ with the vertical. The linear momentum of the bob as seen from the road is increasing with time. Is it a violation of conservation of linear momentum? If not, where is the external force changes the linear momentum?
Suppose we define a quantity 'Linear momentum' as linear momentum = mass × speed.
The linear momentum of a system of particles is the sum of linear momenta of the individual particles. Can we state principle of conservation of linear momentum as "linear momentum of a system remains constant if no external force acts on it"?
Use the definition of linear momentum from the previous question. Can we state the principle of conservation of linear momentum for a single particle?
Consider the situation of the previous problem. Take "the table plus the ball" as the system. friction between the table and the ball is then an internal force. As the ball slows down, the momentum of the system decreases. Which external force is responsible for this change in the momentum?

A man of mass M having a bag of mass m slips from the roof of a tall building of height H and starts falling vertically in the following figure. When at a height h from the ground, the notices that the ground below him is pretty hard, but there is a pond at a horizontal distance x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just succeeds to avoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?
