2. (a) Two buses depart from Kuala Lumpur, one going to Alor Setar, and one to Johor Bahru.
Each bus travels at a speed of 30 m s-1. Do they have equal velocities? Explain your
answer.
(b) A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building of height H as shown in
FIGURE 1.

FIGURE 1

base of the building after 5 s. Assuming that air resistance is negligible, determine
i. the height H of the building.
ii. the horizontal distance from the building when the ball hit the ground.
iii. the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground.

3. An object A of mass 1.5 kg moves in a straight line and eventually collides with a stationary
object B of mass 1.0 kg. After the collision, the objects stick together and continue to move
in the same direction. The system loses energy of 0.50 J after the collision. Determine the
velocity of A before the collision.
