A mass m moving horizontally (along the x -axis) with velocity v collides and sticks to mass of 3m moving vertically upward (along the y -axis) with velocity 2v. The final velocity of the combination
A.
From the law of conservation of linear momentum
mv + (3m)(2v) = (4m)v'
mv i + 6mv j = 4 mv'

A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate g, the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are e1 and e2 respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of g is
e1 - e2
e1 + 2e2
e1+ e2
e1+ e2
An explosion blows a rock into three parts. Two parts go off at right angles to each other. These two are 1 kg first part moving with a velocity of 12 ms-1 and 2 kg second part moving with a velocity of 8 ms-1.If the third part flies off with a velocity of 4 ms-,its mass would be
5 kg
