A truck of mass 500 kg moving at 4 m/s collides with another truck of mass 1500 kg moving in the same direction at 2 m/s. What is their common velocity just after the collision if they move off together ?

उत्तर
Common velocity just after the collision if they move off together will be :
`v = ((m_1 xx u_1)+(m_2+u_2))/(m_1+m_2)`
`m_1 = 500` kg,
`u_1` = 4 m/s
`m_2` = 1500 kg
`u_2` = 2 m/s
`v = ((500+4)+(1500xx2))/(500+1500)`
⇒ `v = (2000+3000)/2000`
⇒ `v = 5000/2000`
⇒ `v = 5000/2000`
⇒ v = 2.5 m/s
This is their common velocity after collision .

A boy of mass 50 kg running at 5 m/s jumps on to a 20 kg trolley travelling in the same direction at 1.5 m/s. What is their common velocity ?
Suppose a ball of mass m is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed v, its speed decreases continuously till it becomes zero. Thereafter, the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed v again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of the initial and final momentums of the ball are the same. Yet, it is not an example of conservation of momentum. Explain why?
A girl riding a bicycle along a straight road with a speed of 5 ms–1 throws a stone of mass 0.5 kg which has a speed of 15 ms–1 with respect to the ground along her direction of motion. The mass of the girl and bicycle is 50 kg. Does the speed of the bicycle change after the stone is thrown? What is the change in speed, if so?
