1. Car A of mass 100 kg traveling at 30 m s-1 collides with Car B of mass 90 kg traveling at 20 m
s-1 in the same direction. Car A and B move separately after collision. If Car A moves at 25
m s-1 after collision, determine the velocity of Car B after collision.
Solution : Given : m1 = 100 kg , u1 = 30 m s-1, u2 = 20 m s-1, v1 = 25 m s-1, m2 = 90 kg,
v2 = ?
mAuA + mBuB = mAvA + mBvB

2. A trolley of mass 4 kg moves at 3 m s -1 and collide with a trolley of mass 2 kg which is moving
in the opposite direction at 1 m s-1. After the collision, both trolleys move together (tips:
inelastic collision) with the same velocity. What is their common velocity?
Solution :

3. A bullet of mass 2 g is shot from a gun of mass 1 kg with a velocity of 150 m s-1. Calculate
The velocity of the recoil of the gun after firing (explotion).
Solution :

Inertia
Fill and underline the correct answer
1.

When the bus stops suddenly our feet are brought to rest but due to inertia, our body tends to
continue its (forward/backward) motion. This causes our body to jerk forward. (thrown forward).
2.

When the bus moves suddenly from rest our feet are carried (forward/backward) but due to
inertia of our body tends to keep us (rest/moving). This causes our body to fall backwards.
3. The inertia of an object is the ___________ of the object to remain at ________ or if
___________to continue its uniform motion in a straight line.
4. The mass of an object is the amount or quantity of matter contained in the object.
5. The SI unit of mass is _____.The mass of an object is __________wherever it is measured.
It is different from weight which is affected by the force of __________.
6. An object with a larger mass has a __________ inertia.

Impulse & Impulsive Force
Two eggs of the same mass are released from the same height, as shown in the figure below.
Egg A falls on a concrete floor while egg B falls on a thick folded towel.

Figure A Figure B

Using Figure A and Figure B, compare the conditions of the eggs after the fall and explain the
relationship between the material where the eggs landed and the force acting on the eggs upon
landing.
Egg A ________ while egg B did not. Egg A fell on _____ surface but egg B fell on

______ surface .The time of impact for hard surface is _______ and produce

a ________ impulsive force.


4. A tennis ball of mass 45 g travels at a velocity of 70 m s1 immediately after it is struck
by a racket. The time of contact between the racket and the tennis ball is 0.5 ms
(millisecond). Calculate (a) impulse and (b) impulsive force exerted on the ball.
Solution :

(a) mass = 45 g convert to kg , (b) t = 0.5 ms convert to s (second).

v = 70 m s1 , u = 0 impulsive force, F = mv mu
Use impulse, Ft = mv mu t
