Using the second law of motion,derive the relation between force and acceleration. $A$ bullet of $10 \, g$ strikes a sandbag at a speed of $10^3 \, m \, s^{-1}$ and gets embedded after traveling $5 \, cm$. Calculate:
$(i)$ The resistive force exerted by the sand on the bullet.
$(ii)$ The time taken by the bullet to come to rest.

  • A
    $10^{2} \, N, 10^{-2} \, s$
  • B
    $10^{5} \, N, 10^{-4} \, s$
  • C
    $10^{6} \, N, 10^{-6} \, s$
  • D
    $10^{7} \, N, 10^{-7} \, s$

If a man jumps out from a boat to the bank of the river,the boat moves backwards. Identify the action and reaction in this situation.

Amar, Javed, and Rita were riding in a bus that was moving with a high velocity on a highway when a bug hit the windshield and its dead body got stuck on the windscreen. Amar and Javed began discussing the situation. Amar suggested that the change in momentum of the bug is much greater than that of the bus. After all, argued Amar, there was no noticeable change in the velocity of the bus compared to the obvious change in the velocity of the bug. Javed opined that since the bus was moving with a larger velocity, so it exerted a larger force on the bug, as a result of which it died. Rita disagreed entirely, arguing that both the bug and bus experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Who do you agree with? Support your answer.
