Ch.9 Force and Laws of Motion
Pistol
m2 = 2kg
u2 = 0
v2 =?
Total momentum of the pistol and bullet before firing, when the gun is at rest
= m1u1 + m2u2
= (0.02 × 0) + (2 × 0)
= 0 kg m/s
3) A car of mass 1000 kg moving with a velocity of 54 km/h hits a wall and
comes to rest in 5 seconds. Find the force exerted by the car on the wall.
Solution:
Given,
Mass = 1000 kg
Time = 5 s
Initial velocity, u = 54 km/h = 15 m/s
Final velocity, υ = 0 m/s
Time, t = 5s
using, F = m a
v−u
F = m( )
t
0−15

VALUE-BASED QUESTIONS
1) Class V students were playing cricket with the cork hall in the school
campus. Charu a senior student told them about the accidents that can
occur due to cork ball in the campus and also advised them to bring soft
cosco ball to play the game.
(a) Why it was safe to play with soft ball and not with hard cork ball?
(b) A player pulls his hands backwards after holding the ball shot at high
speed. Why?
(c) What value of Charu is seen in this act?
Solution:
(a) The soft ball will have less inertia as compared to the heavy ball and it
would not hurt the players.
(b) By pulling the hand backwards it reduces the force exerted by the ball on
hands.
(c) Charu showed the value of being responsible and helpful by nature.
2) Saksham saw his karate expert friend breaking a slate. He tried to break
the slate but Saksham’s friend stopped him from doing so and told him
that it would hurt, one needs lot of practice in doing so.
(a) How can a karate expert break the slate without any injury to his hand?
(b) What is Newton’s third law of motion?
(c) What value of Saksham’s friend, is seen in the above case?
Solution:
(a) A karate player applies the blow with large velocity in a very short interval
of time on the slate, therefore large force is exerted on the slate and it breaks.
(b) To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, both act on different
bodies.
Saksham’s friend showed the value of being responsible and caring friend.
