We have p1+p2+p3=0[∵p=mv] ∴1×12i+2×8j+p3=0⇒12i+16j+p3=0⇒P3=−(12i+16j)∴p3=(12)2+(16)2=144+256=20 kg−m/s Now, p3=m3v3 ⇒m3=V3p3=420=5 kg
An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms−1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 ms−1 speed. If the third part flies off with 4 ms−1 speed, then its mass is

A bullet of mass 10 g moving with 400 m/s penetrates a wall and comes to rest. The loss in kinetic energy is:
Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ in the direction X to Y notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.
A uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is (take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
The kinetic energies of two similar cars $A$ and $B$ are 100 J and 225 J respectively. On applying breaks, car A stops after 1000 m and car B stops after 1500 m . If $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}$ are the forces applied by the breaks on cars A and B , respectively, then the ratio $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}} / \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}$ is :
A balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its radius changes from $R$ to 0 (zero) in time $T$. If the speed $\eta(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^\alpha$ and $T \propto S^\alpha A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$ then
