A stationary bomb explodes into two parts of masses 3kg and 1kg. The total KE of the two parts after explosion is 2400 J. The KE of smaller part is

Explanation

According to the principle of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy, when an explosive body breaks into smaller parts, most of the kinetic energy is acquired by the smaller part due to its larger velocity. Hence, the 1 kg part has a higher kinetic energy of 1800 J.

Two balls of equal masses have a head-on collision with speed 6 m/s each. If the coefficient of restitution is 1/3, the speed of each ball after impact will be

Explanation

In a perfectly elastic collision between two equal masses, the relative velocity after collision remains the same, but the direction is reversed. With coefficient of restitution 1/3, the relative velocity after collision is 1/3 of the initial relative velocity. Hence, each ball moves with a speed of 2 m/s.

A wheel is rotating 900 rpm about its axis. When power is cut off it comes to rest in 1 min. The angular retardation in rad/s2 is

A particle of mass 2 kg located at the position (i^+ j^) m has a velocity of 2(+i^ - j^ +k^) m/s. Its angular momentum about z-axis in kg-m2/s is :

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

About origin, angular momentum will be

    m(r x v) = 2i^j^k^1102-22            = 4i^ - 4j^ - 8k^

Therefore, the component of angular momentum about the z-axis would be -8 kg-m2/s.

Explanation

In an orbital motion, the angular momentum vector is perpendicular to the orbital plane. This is a fundamental result from the definition of angular momentum as the cross product of position and linear momentum vectors, which are mutually perpendicular for circular orbits.

A sphere is rolling down a plane of inclination θ to the horizontal.  The acceleration of its centre down the plane is

Explanation

pi=0pr=0,

i.e, both the pieces should have equal and opposite momentum.

 

A bob of mass m attached to an inextensible string of length l is suspended from verticle support.  The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed ω rad/s about the vertical.  About the point of suspension.

Explanation

For a particle moving in a horizontal circle with a fixed radius, the direction of the angular momentum vector changes continuously, but its magnitude remains constant. This is because the angular momentum is proportional to the product of mass, radius, and speed, all of which are constant.

In free space, a rifle of mass M shoots a bullet of mass m at a stationary block of mass M at a distance D away from it. When the bullet has moved through a distance d towards the block, the centre of mass of the bullet - block system is at a distance of

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Distance between bullet and block at this instant is (D-d).

Distance from bullet = MM+m(D-d)

And the distance from block = mM+m(D-d)
