Can a projectile of speed 10m/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal following a path perpendicular to a wall 8m away and 6m high reach beyond the wall? Justify your answer. Take g as 10m/s/s

First draw a rough diagram of what the question describes. The student must work backwards. To answer, they must know the height of the projectile at the wall. To know the height of the projectile, they n...

Two particles, A and B, are moving directly towards each other on a straight line with speeds of 6 m/s and 8 m/s respectively. The mass of A is 3 kg, and the mass of B is 2 kg. They collide to form a single particle of speed "v" m/s. Find v.

The student should apply their knowledge of conservation of momentum. Also, I would always encourage the student to draw a diagram for all mechanics questions as it helps visualise the problem.total chang...
