When an object is released,its potential energy $U$ decreases,and its velocity becomes $v$. What is the mass of the object?

  • A
    $\frac{2U}{v}$
  • B
    $\frac{U}{2v}$
  • C
    $\frac{2U}{v^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{U}{2v^2}$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ slides down along a frictionless inclined plane $AC$ as shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the particle at point $C$ is:

$A$ ball of mass $300 g$ is dropped from a height $10 m$ above a sandy ground. On reaching the ground,it penetrates through a distance $1.5 m$ in sand and finally stops. The average resistance offered by the sand to oppose the motion is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 m s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

Two monkeys with the same mass stand on a branch at height $h$ above the horizontal jungle floor. Monkey $A$ steps off the branch holding the end of an inextensible rope of length $L$ whose other end is tied to another branch at height $H$,lets go at the bottom of the swing,and falls freely to the floor,as shown below. Monkey $B$ steps off and falls straight downward. Then,neglecting air resistance but not the tension in the rope,the total work $W$ done on each monkey and the speed $v$ with which each hits the floor are as follows:
