1 m/s
2 m/s
4 m/s
5 m/s
Solution
Perfectly inelastic collision. Conservation of momentum:
.
Both move with the same velocity
They stick together
They exchange velocities
Both come to rest
Solution
For 1D elastic collision with equal masses, the velocities are exchanged. The moving body comes to rest, and the stationary body moves off with the original velocity. (You can derive this from the elastic collision equations.)

Solution
Maximum static friction .
Force must exceed this to start motion.

Gravity
Normal force
Friction
Air resistance
Solution
On a flat road, the only horizontal force available is friction. So friction supplies the centripetal force for circular motion.
Act on the same body
Act on different bodies
Cancel each other always
Have different magnitudes
Solution
Action and reaction act on different bodies. They have equal magnitudes and opposite directions but never cancel for a single body, because they act on different objects.
Solution
Impulse-momentum theorem: .
So .

720 N
900 N
Solution
In the lift's frame, apparent weight: .
0 N
400 N
800 N
1600 N
Solution
Constant velocity means zero acceleration, so the apparent weight equals true weight: .
2 kg·m/s
15 kg·m/s
50 kg·m/s
0.5 kg·m/s
Solution
Impulse .
Impulse equals change in momentum.
Solution
The wall provides normal force (pushed against the wall).
Friction supports the weight: .
Minimum .

Solution
Friction provides the centripetal force: .
1 m/s
2 m/s
3 m/s
4 m/s
Solution
Treat all three as one system: .
Solution
At the threshold, applied force equals maximum static friction: .
For most NEET problems, is just written as .
Solution
.

Solution
x-velocity stays at (no force in x).
y-velocity gained: .
Final speed: .
Solution
Without friction, the horizontal component of the normal force gives the centripetal force:
