EXERCISES 1. Car A of mass 100 kg travelling at 30 ms-1 collides with Car B of mass 90 kg travelling at 20 ms-1 in front of it.

Car A and B move separately after collision. If Car A is still moving at 25 ms-1 after collision, determine the velocity of Car B after collision.

2. Car A of mass 100 kg travelling at 30 ms-1 collides with Car B of mass 90 kg travelling at 20 ms-1 in front of it. Car A is pulled by Car B after collision. Determine the common velocity of Car A and B after collision.

3. A bullet of mass 2 g is shot from a gun of mass 1 kg with a velocity of 150 ms -1. Calculate the velocity of the recoil of the gun after firing.

4. An arrow of mass 150 g is shot into a wooden block of mass 450 g lying at rest on a smooth surface. At the moment of impact, the arrow is travelling horizontally at 15 ms-1. Calculate the common velocity after the impact.

5. A rifle of mass 5.0 kg fires a bullet of mass 50 g with a velocity of 80 ms -1. Calculate the recoil velocity. Explain why the recoil velocity of a rifle is much less than the velocity of the bullet.
