Chapter 3 (1st Year Physics) Motion and Force

Case 4: When a massive body collides with the light stationary body.
In this case initial velocity v2 = 0 and m, » m2. Under these conditions m2 can be neglected as
compared to m,.

\
Thus, there will be no change in the velocity of

\
massive body, and the lighter body will move
in forward direction with twice the velocity of incident body.
Q # 11. Find out the expression of force on a wall due to water flow. A
Ans. Suppose the water strikes a wall normally with velocity v and comes to rest aftCr^striking the wall. The
change in velocity ifO - v = -v.
According to the Newton's second law of motion, the applied force is equal to the rate of
change of momentum. If mass m of water strikes the wall in time t. then the force F on the water is: mv j

From Newton's third law of motion, the reaction force exerted by the water on the wall is
equal but opposite. Hence,
/ mv\ mv

This is the expression of force exerted by the water

the bullet and the rifle is zero. From the principle of

conservation of linear momentum, when the bullet is fired, Mar*
the total momentum of bullet and the rifle still remain zero,
since no external force is acted on them. Thus, if v' is the
