A (trolley+child) of total mass 200 kg is moving with a uniform speed of 36 km h-1 on a frictionless track. The child of mass 20 kg starts running on the trolley from one end to the other (10 m away) with a speed of 10 m s-1 relative to the trolley in the direction of the trolley’s motion and jumps out of the trolley with the same relative velocity. What is the final speed of the trolley? How much has the trolley moved from the time the child begins to run and just before jump?

A bullet of mass 0.01 kg and travelling at a speed of 500 m s-1 strikes and passes horizontally through a block of mass 2 kg which is suspended by a string of length 5 m. The centre of gravity of the block is found to raise a vertical distance of 0.1 m. What is the speed of the bullet after it emerges from the block g=9.8 ms-2 (time of passing of bullet is negligible).

A small cube of mass m slides down a circular path of radius R formed from a large block of mass M as shown in the figure M rests on a table and both blocks move without friction. The blocks are initially at rest and m starts from the top of the path. Find the velocity v of the cube as it leaves the block. Initially the line joining m and the centre is horizontal.
