1. A wagon weighing 1000 kg is moving with a velocity 50 km/h on smooth horizontal rails. A mass of 250
kg is dropped into it. The velocity with which it moves now is ?
2. The kinetic energy of two masses m1 and m2 are equal. The ratio of their linear momentum will be ?
3. Which of the following has the maximum momentum ?
4. A rocket with a lift-off mass 3.5 x 10 4 kg is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of 10 m/s 2 Then the initial thrust of the blast is ?
5. In a rocket of mass 1000 kg fuel is consumed at a rate of 40 kg/s. The velocity of the gases ejected from
the rocket is 5 x 10 4 m/s . The thrust on the rocket is ?
6. If the force on a rocket moving with a velocity of 300 m/s is 210 N, then the rate of combustion of the fuel
is ?
7. A rocket has a mass of 100 kg. 90% of this is fuel. It ejects fuel vapours at the rate of 1 kg/sec with a
velocity of 500 m/sec relative to the rocket. It is supposed that the rocket is outside the gravitational field.
The initial upthrust on the rocket when it just starts moving upwards is ?
8. A man weighs 80kg. He stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving upwards with a uniform
acceleration of 5m/s 2. What would be the reading on the scale. (g=10 m/s 2) ?
9.A body of mass 2 kg is hung on a spring balance mounted vertically in a lift. If the lift descends with an
acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity ‘g’, the reading on the spring balance will be ?
10. In the above problem, if the lift moves up with a constant velocity of 2 m/sec, the reading on the balance
will Be ?
