Q21 of 28 Page 70

A light and a heavy object have the same momentum. Find out the ratio of their kinetic energies. Which one has a larger kinetic energy?

Momentum = mv


Since both have same momentum, hence


P = p’


Mv = m’v’


If M > m


Then v < v’




Since, v <v’


hence KE < KE’


Thus, the light object has higher kinetic energy.

An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a speed of 36 km h–1. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 N. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.

A girl having mass of 35 kg sits on a trolley of mass 5 kg. The trolley is given an initial velocity of 4 m s–1 by applying a force. The trolley comes to rest after traversing a distance of 16 m.

(a) How much work is done on the trolley?


(b) How much work is done by the girl?
