Raindrops of raidus 1mm and mass 4 mg are falling with a speed of 30 m/s on the head of a bald person. The drops splash on the head and come to rest. Assuming equivaletly that the drops cover a distance equal to their radii on the head, estimate the force exerted by the each drop on the head.

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of physics, specifically using the equations of motion and Newton's second law. ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Radius of the raindrop, \( r = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Mass of the raindrop, \( m = 4 \, \text{mg} = 4 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{kg} \) - Initial velocity of the raindrop, \( u = 30 \, \text{m/s} \) - Final velocity of the raindrop after splashing, \( v = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) - Distance covered by the raindrop while coming to rest, \( s = r = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) ...

The following problems illustrate the effect of a time-dependent force of a large average magnitude which acts on a moving object only for a short duration. Such forces are called 'impulsive' forces. According to the impulse-momentum theorem, impulse delivered to a body is equal to the change of linear momentum of the body. A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with a speed of 30 m//s . The ball strikes a bat and it is hit straight back along the same line at a speed of 50 m//s . Variation of the interaction force, as long as the ball remains in contact with the bat, is as shown in Fig. Average force exerted by the bat on the ball is Let us consider another example. The given ball of mass 250 g is dropped from a height 5 m on a hard floor. Force exerted by the floor on the ball, as long as these are in contact, varies with time as shown in Fig.

An iron nail of mass 0.2 kg is dropped from a height h=1m from level of a sand bed. If it penetrates through a distance x=0.1m in the sand before coming to rest. Calculate the average force exerted by the sand on the nail. (Take g= 10m//s^(2) )

Two trains one moving at a speed of 30 mile/h and iother at 60 mile/h, approaching each other. When a faster train blows a whistle, the apparent friequency of the note head by an observer at rest behind the faster train is 1852 Hz. Calculate the frequency of note produced by faster train (Assume speed of sound to be 1100 ft/s)

Figure shows an assembly of deflecting plates A and B ofan ink-jet printer which causes moving ink droplets to deflect at desired displacements by continuously varying electric field between the plates. An ink drop with a mass m = 1.3 xx 10^(-10)kg and a negative charge of magnitude q = 1.5x x 10^(-13)C enters the region between the plates, initially moving along the x-axis with speed v_(x), = 18m//s . The length of plates is L = 1.6cm . The plates are connected with a varying voltage and thus produce an electric field at all points between them. Assume that field vec(E) for some duration is constant and it is acting in downward direction as shown and has a magnitude of E = I .4 xx 10^(6) N//C , find the vertical deflection of the drop at the far edge ofthe plate? As the gravitational force on the drop is very small relative to the electrostatic force acting on the drop, it can be neglected for this analysis. [6.4 xx 10^(-4)m]

A raindrop of radius 0.2 mm falls through air: If the viscosity of air is 18 xx 10^(-6) Pl, find the viscous drag acting on the drop when its speed is 1 m s^(-1) .

A raindrop of mass 1 g falling from a height of 1 km hits the ground with a speed of 50 m s^(-1) . If the resistive force is proportional to the speed of the drop, then the work done by the resistive force is (Take g = 10 m s^(-2) )

Two identical balls each of mass 4 kg are moving towards each other with speeds 2 m/s and 3 m/s respectively. They undergo head on perfectly elastic collision. Then impulse imparted by one ball on other is
