A motor car of mass 1200 kg is moving along a straight line with a uniform velocity of 90 km/h. Its velocity is slowed down to 18 km/h in 4 s by an unbalanced external force. Calculate the acceleration and change in momentum of the car. Also calculate the magnitude of force required.

Initial velocity = u =90 km/h = 25 m/s

Final velocity = v = 18 km/h = 5 m/s

A man is standing at the top of a 60 m high tower. He throws a ball vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 m/s. After what time will the ball pass him going downward ? How long after its release will the ball reach the ground ? (g10 m/s2)

v = 0

u = 20 m/s

a = 10 m/s2

The ball is thrown upward so, taking the downward direction as positive,

v = u – at

0= 20 – (10 X t)

10 x t = 20 

t = 2 s

So same time would be taken to reach the man

The ball will cross him after 2 x 2 = 4 s.

Distance the ball travel while going to its upward highest point.

s = ut – 1/2at2

s= (20 x 2 ) – (1/2 x 10 x 4 )

s = 40 – 20 

s = 20 m

Now , distance from ground = 60m + 20 m  = 80 m.

u = 0 m/s

So, time taken to reach ground :

s = ut + 1/2 at2

80 = ( 0 x t ) + 1/2 10 x t2

80 = 5 x t2

t2 = 80/5

t = 16^1/2

t = 4 s
