EXTRA NUMERICALS
Ch.9 Force and Laws of Motion

1) A bullet of mass 20 g is horizontally fired with a velocity 150 m/s from a


pistol of mass 2 kg. What is the recoil velocity of the pistol?
Solution:
For Bullet
m1 = 20g = 0.02 kg
u1 = 0
v1 = +150 m/s

Pistol
m2 = 2kg
u2 = 0
v2 =?

Total momentum of the pistol and bullet before firing, when the gun is at rest
= m1u1 + m2u2
= (0.02 × 0) + (2 × 0)
= 0 kg m/s

Total momentum of the pistol and bullet after it is fired


= m1v1 + m2v2
= (0.02 × 150) + (2 × v)
= 3 + 2v

∴ Total momentum after firing = Total momentum before firing


⇒ 3 + 2v = 0
⇒ v = – 3/2
⇒ v = – 1.5 m/s

2) Find the acceleration produced by a force of 2000 N acting on a car of


mass 800 kg.
Solution:
Given,
Mass, m =800kg
Force, F = 2000 N
Using F = ma
F
a=
m
2000
a=
800
= 2.5 m/s2

3) A car of mass 1000 kg moving with a velocity of 54 km/h hits a wall and
comes to rest in 5 seconds. Find the force exerted by the car on the wall.
Solution:
Given,
Mass = 1000 kg
Time = 5 s
Initial velocity, u = 54 km/h = 15 m/s
Final velocity, υ = 0 m/s
Time, t = 5s
using, F = m a
v−u
F = m( )
t
0−15
= 1000 ( )
5

= - 3000N

4) A body of mass 100g is at rest on a smooth surface. A force of 0.1-


newton act on it for 5 seconds. Calculate the distance traveled by the
body.
Solution:
Given,
Mass of body = 100 g = 0.1 kg
Force, F = 0.1N
Time, t = 5s
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Using formula, F = ma
𝐹
⇒ a = =0.10.1 = 1 m/s2
𝑚

Using formula, s = ut + at2


s = ut + ½ at2
⇒ s = 0 + ½ x 1 x (5)2
∴ s = 12.5 m

5) Two spheres of masses 20 g and 40 g moving in a straight line in the


same direction with velocities of 3 mIs and 2 m/s respectively. They
collide with each other and after the collision, the sphere of mass 20 g
moves with a velocity of 2.5 miles. Find the velocity of the second ball
after confusion.
Solution:
Given,
m1 = 20 g = 20 x 10-3 kg
m1 = 40g = 40g x 10-3kg
u1 = 3 m/s
u2 = 2 m/s
υ1 = 2.5 m/s
Applying conservation of linear momentum,
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1υ1 + m2υ2
20 x 10-3 x 3 + 40 x 10-3 x 2 = 20 x 10-3 x 2.5 + 40 x 10-3 x υ2
υ2 = 2.25m/s.

VALUE-BASED QUESTIONS

1) Class V students were playing cricket with the cork hall in the school
campus. Charu a senior student told them about the accidents that can
occur due to cork ball in the campus and also advised them to bring soft
cosco ball to play the game.
(a) Why it was safe to play with soft ball and not with hard cork ball?
(b) A player pulls his hands backwards after holding the ball shot at high
speed. Why?
(c) What value of Charu is seen in this act?
Solution:
(a) The soft ball will have less inertia as compared to the heavy ball and it
would not hurt the players.
(b) By pulling the hand backwards it reduces the force exerted by the ball on
hands.
(c) Charu showed the value of being responsible and helpful by nature.

2) Saksham saw his karate expert friend breaking a slate. He tried to break
the slate but Saksham’s friend stopped him from doing so and told him
that it would hurt, one needs lot of practice in doing so.
(a) How can a karate expert break the slate without any injury to his hand?
(b) What is Newton’s third law of motion?
(c) What value of Saksham’s friend, is seen in the above case?
Solution:
(a) A karate player applies the blow with large velocity in a very short interval
of time on the slate, therefore large force is exerted on the slate and it breaks.
(b) To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, both act on different
bodies.
Saksham’s friend showed the value of being responsible and caring friend.
