    Study Notes

    Physics Problems

    • Problem 1: A piece of wood and a bullet collide, with the bullet becoming embedded in the wood. The combined system then travels upwards.
      • Given:
        • Mass of wood (mw) = 0.03 kg
        • Mass of bullet (mb) = 0.02 kg
        • Initial height of wood (hw) = 100 m
        • Initial velocity of bullet (vb) = 100 m/s
        • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
      • Find: Maximum height reached by the combined system above the top of the building.
    • Problem 2: A car overtakes a bus traveling in the same direction.
      • Given:
        • Initial distance between car and bus (d) = 200 m
        • Acceleration of bus (ab) = 2 m/s²
        • Acceleration of car (ac) = 4 m/s²
      • Find: Time it takes for the car to catch up with the bus.
    • Problem 3: A particle is thrown vertically upwards from a tower and then falls to the ground.
      • Given:
        • Height of the tower (H)
        • Initial upwards velocity (u)
        • Time to reach the ground (tg) = n * time to reach the highest point (th)
      • Find: The relationship between H, u, and n.
    • Problem 4: Two balls are thrown vertically from a building, one upwards and the other downwards.
      • Given:
        • Ball A is thrown upwards.
        • Ball B is thrown downward.
        • Final velocities of A and B upon reaching the ground are vA and vB, respectively.
      • Find: The relationship between vA and vB.
    • Problem 5: A ball is dropped from the top of a tower.
      • Given:
        • Height of the tower (h)
        • Time taken to reach the ground (T)
      • Find: The position of the ball at time T/3.
    • Problem 6: Two trains with different lengths and speeds are traveling on the same track.
      • Given:
        • Passenger train length (Lp) = 60 m
        • Passenger train speed (vp) = 80 km/h
        • Freight train length (Lf) = 120 m
        • Freight train speed (vf) = 30 km/h
      • Find: The ratio of the time the passenger train takes to completely cross the freight train when they are traveling in the same and opposite directions.
    • Problem 7: A parachutist jumps out of a plane.
      • Given:
        • Distance traveled without friction (d1) = 50 m
        • Deceleration when the parachute opens (a) = -2 m/s²
        • Speed at the ground (vf) = 3 m/s
      • Find: The height from which the parachutist bailed out
    • Problem 8: A car travels the same distance at two different speeds.
      • Given:
        • Distance traveled (x)
        • Speed for the first distance (v1)
        • Speed for the second distance (v2)
      • Find: None. This problem statement is incomplete. Additional information is needed to solve it.
