Question
How will you separate camphor, common salt and iron nails from their mixture?
✓
Answer
A horse-shoe magnet is moved on the surface of the mixture of camphor, common salt and iron nails. The iron nails are attracted by the magnet, they cling to the poles of the magnet and get separated. This process is repeated a number of times till complete separation of iron nails occur leaving behind mixture of camphor and common salt. Mixture of camphor and common salt is heated. Camphor sublimes on heating leaving behind common salt and can be recovered in the form of sublimate by cooling its vapours.

An automobile engine propels a $1000kg$ car $(A)$ along a levelled road at a speed of $36km h^{-1}$. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is $100N$. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of $200m$, this car collides with another stationary car $(B)$ of same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now car $(B)$ starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car $(B)$ just after the collision.
