$A$ train engine of mass $m$ starts moving such that its velocity varies as $v = k\sqrt{s}$,where $k$ is a constant and $s$ is the distance covered. What is the total work done by all the forces acting on the engine in the first $t$ seconds?

  • A
    $W = \frac{1}{8} m k^4 t^2$
  • B
    $W = \frac{1}{4} m^2 k^4 t^2$
  • C
    $W = \frac{1}{4} m k^4 t^4$
  • D
    $W = \frac{1}{8} m k^4 t^2$

$A$ student of mass $M$ is $1.5 \,m$ tall and has her centre of mass $1 \,m$ above the ground when standing straight. She wants to jump up vertically. To do so,she bends her knees so that her centre of mass is lowered by $0.2 \,m$ and then pushes the ground by a constant force $F$. As a result,she jumps up such that the maximum height of her feet is $0.3 \,m$ above the ground. The ratio $F / Mg$ is (in $.5$)

$A$ bead $P$ slides on a frictionless semi-circular wire $(ACB)$. It is at point $S$ at $t = 0$, and at this instant, the horizontal component of its velocity is $v$. Another bead $Q$ of the same mass as $P$ is ejected from point $A$ at $t = 0$ along the horizontal wire $AB$ with speed $v$. Friction between the beads and the respective wires may be neglected in both cases. Let $t_P$ and $t_Q$ be the respective times taken by beads $P$ and $Q$ to reach point $B$. Then the relation between $t_P$ and $t_Q$ is:

The figure shows the vertical section of a frictionless surface. $A$ block of mass $2\, kg$ is released from position $A$. Its kinetic energy $(KE)$ as it reaches position $C$ is .............. $J$.

$A$ balloon filled with helium rises against gravity,increasing its potential energy. The speed of the balloon also increases as it rises. How do you reconcile this with the law of conservation of mechanical energy? You can neglect viscous drag of air and assume that the density of air is constant.

View Solution

Potential energy of a body of mass $1 \ kg$ free to move along $X$-axis is given by $U(x) = (\frac{x^2}{2} - x) \ J$. If the total mechanical energy of the body is $2 \ J$,then the maximum speed of the body is (Assume only conservative force acts on the body).
