a) mnu
b) 2 mnu
c) 2 mnu
d) \[\frac{1}{2} mnu\]

Answer: b
Explanation:
q105

6. A ball of mass 400 gm is dropped from a height of 5m. A boy on the ground hits the ball vertically upwards with a bat with an average force of 100 newton so that it attains a vertical height of 20 m. The time for which the ball remains in contact with the bat is \[\left[g=10 m\diagup s^{2}\right]\]
a) 0.12s
b) 0.08 s
c) 0.04 s
d) 12 s

Answer: a
Explanation:
q106

7. A gun of mass 10 kg fires 4 bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is 20 g and the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the gun is \[300 ms^{-1}\]  .The force required to hold the gun while firing is
a) 6 N
b) 8 N
c) 24 N
d) 240 N

Answer: c
Explanation: Rate of change of momentum of the bullet in forward direction = Force required to hold the gun. F = nmv = 4 * 20 * 10-3 * 300 = 24 N
