Q.

A particle of mass m = 2 kg is moving at 5 m/s in a given direction and is struck by an impulsive force F that deflects its direction of motion through 60° and doubles the magnitude of its velocity. The same impulsive force F is applied to a mass of 5m at rest. What is the resulting kinetic energy of mass 5m (in J)


Ans.

(15)

FΔt=|Δp→|=mv3

        =103 kg m/s

Now FΔt=5mV0

K=12 5mV02=15J
