A bullet is fired from a gun. The force on the bullet is given by
$$F = 600 - 2 \times {10^5}t$$
where, $$F$$ is in newton and $$t$$ in second. The force on the bullet becomes zero as soon as it leaves the barrel. What is the average impulse imparted to the bullet?
To calculate impulse first of all calculate the time during which force becomes zero.
We have given, $$F = 600 - 2 \times {10^5}t$$
When, bullet leaves the barrel, the force on the bullet becomes zero.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{So,}}\,600 - 2 \times {10^5}t = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow t = \frac{{600}}{{2 \times {{10}^5}}} \cr
& = 3 \times {10^{ - 3}}s \cr} $$
Then, average impulse imparted to the bullet
$$\eqalign{
& I = \int_0^t F dt = \int_0^{3 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} {\left( {600 - 2 \times {{10}^5}t} \right)} dt \cr
& = \left[ {600t - \frac{{2 \times {{10}^5}{t^2}}}{2}} \right]_0^{3 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \cr
& = 600 \times 3 \times {10^{ - 3}} - {10^5} \times {\left( {3 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \right)^2} \cr
& = 1.8 - 0.9 = 0.9\;N - s \cr} $$ Alternative
As obtained in previous method, the time taken by bullet when it leaves the barrel
$$t = 3 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;s$$
Let $${F_1}$$ and $${F_2}$$ denote the forces at the time of firing of bullets i.e. at $$t = 0$$ and at the time of leaving the bullet i.e. at $$t = 3 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;s.$$
$$\eqalign{
& {F_1} = 600 - 2 \times {10^5} \times 0 = 600\;N \cr
& {F_2} = 600 - 2 \times {10^5} \times 3 \times {10^{ - 3}} = 0 \cr} $$
Mean value of force $$F = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{F_1} + {F_2}} \right) = \frac{{600 + 0}}{2} = 300\;N$$
Thus, impulse $$ = F \times t = 300 \times 3 \times {10^{ - 3}} = 0.9\;N - s$$
2.
A $$5000\,kg$$ rocket is set for vertical firing. The exhaust speed is $$800\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ To give an initial upward acceleration of $$20\,m{s^{ - 2}},$$ the amount of gas ejected per second to supply the needed thrust will be
$$\left( {g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}} \right)$$
Given: Mass of rocket $$\left( m \right) = 5000\,kg$$
Exhaust speed $$\left( v \right) = 800\,m/s$$
Acceleration of rocket $$\left( a \right) = 20\,m/{s^2}$$
Gravitational acceleration $$\left( g \right) = 10\,m/{s^2}$$
We know that upward force
$$F = m\left( {g + a} \right) = 5000\left( {10 + 20} \right) = 5000 \times 30 = 150000\,N.$$
We also know that amount of gas ejected
$$\left( {\frac{{dm}}{{dt}}} \right) = \frac{F}{v} = \frac{{150000}}{{800}} = 187.5\,kg/{s^{ - 1}}$$

A ball of mass $$150\,g$$ moving with an acceleration $$20\,m/{s^2}$$ is hit by a force, which acts on it for $$0.1\,s.$$ The impulsive force is
Impulse of a force, which is the product of average force during impact and the time for, which the impact lasts is measured by the total change in linear momentum produced during the impact.
Impulse $$I = {F_{{\text{av}}}} \times t = {P_2} - {P_1}$$
Here, Mass $$ = 150g = \frac{{150}}{{1000}}kg$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore F = \frac{{150}}{{1000}} \times 20 = 3\,N \cr
& \therefore I = F \cdot \Delta t = 3 \times 0.1 = 0.3\,N - s \cr} $$
4.
A body of mass $$5\,kg$$ under the action of constant force $$\overrightarrow F = {F_x}\hat i + {F_y}\hat j$$ has velocity at $$t = 0\,s$$ as $$\overrightarrow v = \left( {6\hat i - 2\hat j} \right)m/s$$ and at $$t = 10s$$ as $$\overrightarrow v = + 6\hat j\,m/s.$$ The force $$F$$ is:
A.
$$\left( { - 3\hat i + 4\hat j} \right)N$$
B.
$$\left( { - \frac{3}{5}\hat i + \frac{4}{5}\hat j} \right)N$$
C.
$$\left( {3\hat i - 4\hat j} \right)N$$
D.
$$\left( {\frac{3}{5}\hat i - \frac{4}{5}\hat j} \right)N$$
From question, Mass of body, $$m = 5\,kg$$
Velocity at $$t = 0,u = \left( {6\hat i - 2\hat j} \right)m/s$$
Velocity at $$t = 10s,v = + 6\hat j\,m/s$$
Force, $$F = ?$$
$$a = \frac{{v - u}}{t} = \frac{{6\hat j - \left( {6\hat i - 2\hat j} \right)}}{{10}} = \frac{{ - 3\hat i + 4\hat j}}{5}\,m/{s^2}$$
Force, $$F = ma = 5 \times \frac{{\left( { - 3\hat i + 4\hat j} \right)}}{5} = \left( { - 3\hat i + 4\hat j} \right)N$$

A player stops a football weighting $$0.5\,kg$$ which comes flying towards him with a velocity of $$10\,m/s.$$ If the impact lasts for $${\frac{1}{{50}}^{th}}\,\sec .$$ and the ball bounces back with a velocity of $$15\,m/s,$$ then the average force involved is
Thrust on the rocket is the force with which the rocket moves upwards. Thrust on rocket at time $$t$$ is given by $$F = - u\frac{{dm}}{{dt}}$$
The negative sign indicates that thrust on the rocket is in a direction opposite to the direction of escaping gases.
Here, velocity of the rocket $$u = 300\,m/s$$
and force $$F = 345\,N$$
∴ Rate of combustion of fuel $$ - \left( {\frac{{dm}}{{dt}}} \right) = \frac{F}{u} = \frac{{345}}{{300}} = 1.15\,kg/s$$

A player takes $$0.1\,s$$ in catching a ball of mass $$150\,g$$ moving with velocity of $$20\,m/s.$$ The force imparted by the ball on the hands of the player is
Force imparted = rate of change of momentum
$$\eqalign{
& F = \frac{{\Delta p}}{{\Delta t}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,F = \frac{{{p_1} - {p_2}}}{{\Delta t}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,F = \frac{{m\left( {{v_1} - {t_2}} \right)}}{{\Delta t}} \cr} $$
Here, mass of body $$m = 150\;g = 0.150\;kg,$$
$$\eqalign{
& {v_1} = 20\;m/s, \cr
& {v_2} = 0 \cr} $$
Time taken, $$\Delta t = 0.1\;s$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore F = \frac{{0.150 \times \left( {20 - 0} \right)}}{{0.1}} \cr
& = 30\;N \cr} $$

A ball of mass $$10\,g$$ moving perpendicular to the plane of the wall strikes it and rebounds in the same line with the same velocity. If the impulse experienced by the wall is $$0.54\,Ns,$$ the velocity of the ball is
As the ball, $$m = 10\,g = 0.01\,kg$$ rebounds after striking the wall
$$\therefore $$ Change in momentum $$ = mv - \left( { - mv} \right) = 2\,mv$$
Impulse = Change in momentum $$= 2mv$$
$$\therefore v = \frac{{{\text{Impulse}}}}{{2m}} = \frac{{0.54\,Ns}}{{2 \times 0.01\,kg}} = 27\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
