NUMERICALS FOR PRACTICE

TOPIC: FORCE

1. A man wearing a bullet-proof vest stands still on roller skates. The total mass is 80 kg. A bullet of mass
20 grams is fired at 400 m/s. It is stopped by the vest and falls to the ground. What is then the velocity
of the man ?
2. A heavy car A of mass 2000 kg travelling at 10 m/s has a head-on collision with a sports car B of mass
500 kg. If both cars stop dead on colliding, what was the velocity of car B ?
3. A ball X of mass 1 kg travelling at 2 m/s has a head-on collision with an identical ball Y at rest. X stops
and Y moves off. Calculate the velocity of Y after the collision.
4. 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 ?
5. An unloaded truck weighing 2000 kg has a maximum acceleration of 0.5 m/s2. What is the maximum
acceleration when it is carrying a load of 2000 kg ?
6. A gun of mass 3 kg fires a bullet of mass 30 g. The bullet takes 0.003 s to move through the barrel of
the gun and acquires a velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate :
(i) the velocity with which the gun recoils.
(ii) the force exerted on gunman due to recoil of the gun
7. The velocity of a body of mass 10 kg increases from 4 m/s to 8 m/s when a force acts on it for 2 s.
(a) What is the momentum before the force acts ?
(b) What is the momentum after the force acts ?
(c) What is the gain in momentum per second ?
(d) What is the value of the force ?
8. For how long should a force of 100 N act on a body of 20 kg so that it acquires a velocity of 100 m/s ?
9. A body of mass 5 kg is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. A force is applied to it so that in 25 seconds, it
attains a velocity of 35 m/s. Calculate the value of the force applied.
10. A 10 g bullet travelling at 200 m/s strikes and remains embedded in a 2 kg target which is originally at
rest but free to move. At what speed does the target move off ?
11. A man throws a ball weighing 500 g vertically upwards with a speed of 10 m/s. What will be its initial
momentum ? What would be its momentum at the highest point of its flight ?
12. Calculate the change in momentum of a body weighing 5 kg when its velocity decreases from 20 m/s
to 0.20 m/s.
13. A body of mass 25 kg has a momentum of 125 kg.m/s. Calculate the velocity of the body.
14. A player caught a cricket ball of mass 150 g moving at a speed of 20 m/s . If the catching process is
completed in 0.1 sec, calculate the magnitude of force exerted by the ball on the hand of the player.
