A 10kg mass at 8m/s collides inelastically with a stationary 5kg mass. What is the final speed?

Momentum conservation: 10×8=(10+5)vf⇒80=15vf⇒vf=8015≈5.33m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 5 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.

A 0.2kg ball moving at 30m/s at 45∘ to a wall rebounds at the same speed and angle. What is the impulse perpendicular to

Perpendicular component (x-axis) changes direction upon rebound. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 6 N s as the result, so option A is correct.

A shell of mass 0.01kg is fired from a gun of mass 50kg with a muzzle speed of 100m/s. What is the recoil speed of the g

By conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after firing is zero. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 0.02 m/s as the result, so option D is correct.

A 0.25kg ball moving at 18m/s at 53∘ to a wall rebounds at the same speed and angle. What is the impulse perpendicular t

Perpendicular component (x-axis) reverses upon rebound. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 4 N s as the result, so option A is correct.

Which of the following has the same dimensional formula as momentum?

Momentum is given by p=mv with dimensional formula \[MLT−1\]. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that Impulse is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.
