If $$n$$ bullets each of mass $$m$$ are fired with a velocity $$v$$ per second from a machine gun, the force required to hold the gun in position is
By Newton’s second law of motion $$F = n\left( {mv} \right) = nmv$$

A ball of mass $$0.2kg$$ rests on a vertical post of height $$5m.$$ A bullet of mass $$0.01kg,$$ traveling with a velocity $$V m/s$$ in a horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After the collision, the ball and bullet travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of $$20m$$ and the bullet at a distance of $$100m$$ from the foot of the post. The velocity $$V$$ of the bullet is
For vertical motion of bullet or ball $$u = 0,\,s = 5m,\,t = ?,\,a = 10m/{s^2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& S = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2} \Rightarrow 5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times {t^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow t = 1\sec \cr} $$ For horizontal motion of ball
$${x_{ball}} = {V_{ball}}t \Rightarrow 20 = {V_{ball}} \times 1 = {V_{ball}}$$ For horizontal motion of bullet
$${x_{bullet}} = {V_{bullet}} \times t \Rightarrow 100 = {V_{bullet}} \times 1 = {V_{bullet}}$$
Applying conservation of linear momentum during collision, we get
$$\eqalign{
& mV = m{V_{bullet}} + M{V_{ball}} \cr
& 0.01V = 0.01 \times 100 + 0.2 \times 20 \cr
& \therefore V = \frac{5}{{0.01}} = 500m/s \cr} $$

Sand is being dropped on a conveyor belt at the rate of $$M\,kg/s.$$ The force (in $$N$$) necessary to keep the belt moving with a constant velocity of $$v\,m/s$$ will be:

A $$5000\,kg$$ rocket is set for vertical firing. The exhaust speed is $$800\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ To give an initial upward acceleration of $$20\,m{s^{ - 2}},$$ the amount of gas ejected per second to supply the needed thrust will be $$\left( {g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}} \right)$$
Whenever there is change in the mass w.r.t. time, apply $$F = - v\frac{{dm}}{{dt}}$$
Thrust force on the rocket $${F_t} = {v_r}\left( { - \frac{{dm}}{{dt}}} \right)\,\,\left( {{\text{upwards}}} \right)$$
Rate of combustion of fuel $$ - \frac{{dm}}{{dt}} = \frac{{{F_t}}}{{{v_r}}}$$
Given, $${F_t} = 210\,N$$
$$\eqalign{
& {v_r} = 300\,m/s \cr
& \therefore - \frac{{dm}}{{dt}} = \frac{{210}}{{300}} = 0.7\,kg/s \cr} $$

A particle of mass $$m$$ moving in the $$x$$ direction with speed $$2v$$ is hit by another particle of mass $$2m$$ moving in the $$y$$ direction with speed $$v.$$ If the collision is perfectly inelastic, the percentage loss in the energy during the collision is close to:
Initial momentum of the system
$$\eqalign{
& {p_{net}} = \sqrt {{{\left\{ {\left( {2m} \right)v} \right\}}^2} + {{\left\{ {m\left( {2v} \right)} \right\}}^2}} \cr
& {p_{net}} = \sqrt {4{m^2}{v^2} + 4{m^2}{v^2}} \cr
& {p_{net}} = \sqrt {8{m^2}{v^2}} \cr
& {p_{net}} = 2\sqrt 2 mv \cr} $$
Final momentum of the system $$= 3mV$$
By the law of conservation of momentum
$$\eqalign{
& {p_{net}} = 3m{V_{combined}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 2\sqrt 2 mv = 3m{V_{combined}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{2\sqrt 2 v}}{3} = {V_{combined}} \cr} $$
Loss in energy
$$\eqalign{
& \Delta E = \frac{1}{2}{m_1}V_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}{m_2}V_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)V_{combined}^2 \cr
& DE = 3m{v^2} - \frac{4}{3}m{v^2} = \frac{5}{3}m{v^2} = 55.55\% \cr} $$
Percentage loss in energy during the collision $$= 56\%$$

A mass $$'m'$$ moves with a velocity $$'v'$$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass . After collision the $${1^{st}}$$ mass moves with velocity $$\frac{v}{{\sqrt 3 }}$$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the $${2^{nd}}$$ mass after collision.
In $$x$$-direction, $$mv = m{v_1}\cos \theta \,......\left( 1 \right)$$
where $${v_1}$$ is the velocity of second mass
In $$y$$-direction, $$\frac{{mv}}{{\sqrt 3 }} = m{v_1}\sin \theta \,......\left( 2 \right)$$
Squaring and adding eqns. (1) and (2)
$$v_1^2 = {v^2} + \frac{{{v^2}}}{{\sqrt 3 }} \Rightarrow {v_1} = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}v$$

A bullet of mass $$10\,g$$ moving horizontal with a velocity of $$400\,m/s$$ strikes a wood block of mass $$2\,kg$$ which is suspended by light inextensible string of length $$5 m.$$ As result, the centre of gravity of the block found to rise a vertical distance of $$10\,cm.$$ The speed of the bullet after it emerges of horizontally from the block will be
According to the law of conservation of momentum, $${p_i} = {p_f}$$
$$ \Rightarrow \left( {0.01} \right) \times 400 + 0 = 2v + \left( {0.01} \right)v'\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Also velocity $$v$$ of the block just after the collision is
$$v = \sqrt {2gh} = \sqrt {2 \times 10 \times 0.1} = \sqrt 2 \,.......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
$$v' \approx 120\,m/s$$

A stone is dropped from a height $$h.$$ It hits the ground with a certain momentum $$P.$$ If the same stone is dropped from a height $$100\% $$ more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by :
Momentum $$P = mv = m\sqrt {2gh} \,\,\left( {\because {v^2} = {u^2} + 2gh;\,{\text{Here}}\,u = 0} \right)$$
When stone hits the ground momentum
$$P = m\sqrt {2gh} $$
when same stone dropped from $$2h$$ ($$100\% $$ of initial) then momentum $$P' = m\sqrt {2g\left( {2h} \right)} = \sqrt 2 P$$
Which is changed by $$41\% $$ of initial.
