3. Two smooth spheres A and B of mass 3m and 2m respectively lie in a straight line, on a smooth
horizontal floor, with sphere B between A and a smooth vertical wall. A is projected with speed 2u
to collide directly with B , and B in turn strikes the wall. The coefficient of restitution of either impact
is-. Find

4. A lorry of mass 1400 kg moving along a straight horizontal road at a steady speed of 20 m s-1 with its engine
working at the rate of 96 kW experiences constant a non-gravitational resistance R.

The lorry descends a plane inclined at sin-1 to the horizontal with a steady speed of 12 m s-1. ‘
Given that the non-gravitational resistance remains unchanged, .
(b) calculate the rate at which the engine is now working,
(c) find the retardation of the lorry if the rate of working of the engine is decreased by 20 kW.
(Take g as 10 m s 2.)
5. ( i) A particle is projected from a point A on a horizontal with speed 50 m s-1 at an angle of elevation a so
that it passes through the point (120,10).
