(a) Net force is the effective or resultant force resulting from the actions of a system of forces on a body.

(b) The principle ofconservation of linear momentum explains that in an isolated or closed system of colliding bodies the total linear momentum in a fixed direction remains constant, e.g. the recoil of gun, colliding trolleys, rocket propulsion, etc.

(c) V\(_1^2\) = \(U_1^2 + 2gh_1\) = 0 + 2 x 10 x 2
= 40
\(V_1 = \sqrt{40}\) = 6.325m/s
\(v_2^2 = u_2^2 - 2gh_2\)
O = \(U^2_2\) - 2 x 10 x 1.8
u = \(\sqrt{36}\)
= 6ms\(^{-1}\)
Impulse Change in momentun
mv\(_1\) - (-mu\(_2\)) = m (v\(_1\) + u\(_2\))
= 0.2(6.325 + 6.000)
= 2.46 Ns

(d) v = \(\omega \sqrt{r^2 - y^2}\)
2\(\pi\)f\(\sqrt{r^2 - y^2}\)
2 = 2 x 3.14 x 5 x \(\sqrt{r^2 - 0.1^2}\)
r = 0.12m
(ii) Vmax = \(\omega\)r = 2\(\pi\)fr
= 2 x 3.142 x 5 x 0.12
= 3,77 m/s
(iii) P.E = \(\frac{1}{2}m \omega^2e^2 = \times \frac{1}{2}m(2 \pi f)^2r^2\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} \times 0.02(2 \times 3.142 \times 5)^2 \times (0.12)^2\)
= 1.42 x 10\(^{-1}J\)
