Ques: Two billiard balls each of mass 0.05 kg moving in opposite directions with speed 6 m/s collide and rebound with the same speed. What is the impulse imparted to each ball due to the other?

Ans: Mass of each ball = 0.05 kg

Initial velocity of each ball = 6 m/s 

Magnitude of the initial momentum of each ball, pi = 0.3 kg m/s

After collision, the balls change their directions of motion without changing the magnitudes of their velocity. 

Final momentum of each ball, p f = –0.3 kg m/s

Impulse imparted to each ball = Change in the momentum of the system

= p f – pi

= –0.3 – 0.3 

= –0.6 kg m/s

The negative sign indicates that the impulses imparted to the balls are opposite in direction.

1. A particle moves along a straight-line y= 3x + 5. Which coordinate changes at faster rate? a) X- coordinate  b) y-coordinate  c) both x and y  d) insufficient data Ans: b) y-coordinate ( Let suppose x=1,then y=8 ,x= 2 ,y = 11. So y coordinate is increasing 3 times faster as compare to X- coordinate  ) .  2. If 𝐴⃗ + 𝐵⃗⃗ = 𝐶⃗ and A+B = C then the angle between 𝐴⃗ and 𝐵⃗⃗ is- a) 0 b) π/4  c) π/2  d) π  Ans: c) π/2 3.

  Difference   between Electromagnetic Waves and Matter Waves » Electromagnetic waves 1. Electromagnetic waves are associated with electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of radiation. 2. Electromagnetic waves can be radiated into space or emitted. 3. They do not require any medium for propagation i.e., these waves can pass through vacuum. 4. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same velocity.  5. The velocity of all electromagnetic waves is equal to that of light (3 x 108 m/s). 6. The wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation are much large .   » Matter waves 1. Matter waves may not be associated with electric and magnetic fields. 2. Matter waves are neither radiated into space nor emitted by the particles. These are simply associated with the particles 3. They require medium for propagation i.e., these waves cannot pass through vacuum. 4. Matter waves travel with different vel...

                        Introduction The importance of sports and fitness in one’s life is invaluable. Playing sports inculcates team spirit, develops strategic and analytical thinking, leadership skills, goal setting and risk taking. Moto of Khelo India Program is “A fit and healthy individual leads to an equally healthy society and strong nation”.  Sports is an extremely important component for the overall development of our nation or for any nation. India, in the last five years has made steady progress in the field of sports. This tremendous potential need to be show cased at a global platform. It’s time we inspire young talent, give them top notch, infrastructure and training of the highest level. We need to inculcate a strong spirit of participation in the sports that enables players to demonstrate their true potential. Only then India can  realise its dream of becoming a sports super power.  The...
