A block of mass \(m\) is released on the inclined face of smooth wedge of equal mass \(m,\) which lies on a smooth horizontal plane. The system is initially at rest. When the block reaches the bottom of the wedge, and just before it hits the plane, it has a horizontal velocity component (w.r.t., ground) of \(v.\) The velocity of the wedge is:
            
1. \(v\) 2. \(2v\)
3. \(\dfrac{v}{2}\) 4. zero

A spacecraft, moving in outer space where there are no gravitational fields, fires its rockets. The initial mass of the spacecraft was \(1000~\text{kg},\) and it was moving with a velocity of \(100~\text{m/s}.\) After firing its rockets, its mass becomes \(900~\text{kg}\) and its velocity becomes \(200~\text{m/s},\) along the same direction. The momentum of the exhaust gases, backward, is:
1. \(28\times10^4~\text{N-s}\)
2. \(18\times10^4~\text{N-s}\)
3. \(8\times10^4~\text{N-s}\)
4. \(4\times10^4~\text{N-s}\)

A meteorite of mass \(100~\text{kg}\) moving in space with a speed of \(20~\text{km/s}\) breaks up into two identical pieces, one of which travels in the original direction with a speed of \(40~\text{km/s.}\) The speed of the other piece:
1. is zero
2. is \(20~\text{km/s}\)
3. is between \(20~\text{km/s}\) and \(40~\text{km/s}\)
4. is greater than \(20~\text{km/s}\)
