A cricket ball of mass 150 g moving with a speed of 126 km/h hits at the middle of the bat, held firmly at its position by the batsman. The ball moves straight back to the bowler after hitting the bat. Assuming that collision between ball and bat is completely elastic and the two remain in contact for 0.001s, the force that the batsman had to apply to hold the bat firmly at its place would be 
(a) 10.5 N
(b) 21 N
(c) 1.05 ×104 N
(d) 2.1 × 104 N

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar (c) m =150g =3/20kg Time of contact =0.001s U=126km/h= V= -35m/s Change in momentum of the ball = m (v-u)= =21/2 F= dp/dt=- = - 1.05 Here – negative sign indicates that force will be opposite to the direction of movement of the ball before hitting.

(b) conserving energy between “O” ans ”A”

Ui + Ki = Uf + Kf
0+1/2mv2= mgh + 1/2mv’
(v’)2=v2-2gh = v’= ……….1
Let speed after emerging be v1 then
=1/2mv12=1/2[1/2mv’2]
1/2m(v1)2=1/4m(v’)2=1/4m[v2-2gh]
V1= ………….2
From eqn 1 and 2
So v1 = v’/ =v2(v’/2)
v1>v’/2
hence after emerging from the target velocity of the bullet is more than half of its earlier velocity v’
(d) as the velocity of the bullet changes to v’ which is less than v’ hence , path

(b, d) When a man of mass m climbs up the staircases of height L, work done by the gravitational force on the man is mgl work done by internal muscular forces will be mgL as the change in kinetic is almost zero.
Hence total work done =-mgL + mgL=0
As the point of application of the contact forces does not move hence work done by reaction forces will be zero.
