[3]
7.
(a) Any three from:
1. (Suspend plate from a point and then) mark a

3. Hang from another point / place (and draw
another vertical line) (wtte)
4. Where the lines intersect gives position of centre
of gravity (wtte)

Collisions
Collisions
1.
A truck of mass 2kg travels at 8
m/s towards a stationary truck of mass 6kg. After the collision they stuck
together and move off in the same direction. What is their common velocity?
2.
A car of mass 2000kg, traveling
at 10m/s, has a head on collision with a small sports car of mass 500kg. If
both cars stop dead on colliding, what was the velocity of the sports car
before the collision?
3.
A man wearing a bullet proof vest
stands on roller skates. His total mass is 80kg. A bullet of mass 20g is fired
at him at a speed of 400 m/s. If the bullet is stopped by the vest and falls to
the ground, what velocity will the man move at? How does your answer compare
with “the movies”?
