Important Questions on Force : Newton's Laws of Motion
A particle of mass moving with velocity towards east strikes another particle of same mass moving with the same velocity towards north. After striking, two particles fuse together. With what velocity this new particle of mass will move in north-east direction?

A body of mass is lying in plane at rest. It suddenly explodes into three pieces. Two pieces, each of mass move perpendicular to each other with equal speeds . The kinetic energy generated due to the explosion is:

Two balls, having linear momenta and , undergo a collision in free space. There is no external force acting on the balls. Let and be their final momenta. The following option (s) is (are) not allowed for any non-zero value of and :

A shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. It explodes into two pieces of equal masses at the highest point of its path. One of the pieces retraces its path to cannon. The speed of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

An isolated particle of mass is moving in a horizontal plane along the , at a certain height above the ground. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses and . An instant later, the smaller fragment is at . The larger fragment at this instant is at:

A balloon of mass is descending down with an acceleration . How much mass should be removed from it so that it starts moving up with an acceleration ?

The force acting on a particle of mass is indicated by the force-time graph shown adjoining. The change in momentum of the particle over the time interval from is:

A particle moves in the x-y plane under the action of a force such that the value of its linear momentum at any time is . The angle between and at a given time will be:
