Question 10.

A constant force acts on an object of mass 6 kg for a duration of 3 s. It increases the object’s velocity from 4 m-s^–1 to 8 m-s^-1. Find the magnitude of the applied force. Now, if the force was applied for a duration of 4 s, what would be the final velocity of the object?

Question 11.

Which would require a greater force- an object accelerating with 1 ms^-2 having mass 5 kg and an object accelerating with 3 ms^-2 having mass 10 kg?

Question 12.

A motorcar is moving with a velocity of 90 km/h and it takes 3 s to stop after the brakes are applied. Calculate the force exerted by the brakes on the motorcar if its mass along with the passengers is 1500 kg.

Question 13.

A force of 10 N gives a mass m₁, an acceleration of 15 m-s^–2 and a mass m₂, an acceleration of 30 m-s^-2. What acceleration would it give if both the masses were tied together?

Question 14.

A bullet of mass 30 g is horizontally fired with a velocity 200 m-s^-1 from a pistol of mass 3 kg. What is the recoil velocity of the pistol?

Question 15.

A girl of mass 50 kg jumps with a horizontal velocity of 6 m-s^-1 onto a stationary cart with frictionless wheels. The mass of the cart is 5 kg. What is her velocity as the cart starts moving? Assume that there is no external unbalanced force working in the horizontal direction.

Question 16.

A bullet of mass 40 g is horizontally fired with a velocity 500 m-s^-1 from a pistol of mass 8 kg. What is the recoil velocity of the pistol?

Question 17.

Which would require a smaller force- an object accelerating with 3 ms^-2 having mass 18 kg and an object accelerating with 2 ms^-2 having mass 20kg?

Question 18.

A force of 20 N gives a mass m₁, an acceleration of 12 m-s^–2 and a mass m₂, an acceleration of 40 m-s^-2. What acceleration would it give if both the masses were tied together?

Question 19.

A bullet of mass 50 g is horizontally fired with a velocity 300 m-s^-1 from a pistol of mass 5 kg. What is the recoil velocity of the pistol?

Question 20.

A boy of mass 35 kg jumps with a horizontal velocity of 5 m-s^-1 onto a stationary cart with frictionless wheels. The mass of the cart is 6 kg. What is his velocity as the cart starts moving? Assume that there is no external unbalanced force working in the horizontal direction.
