$A$ clay ball of mass $m$ and speed $v$ strikes another metal ball of the same mass $m$,which is at rest. They stick together after the collision. The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is

  • A
    $m v^2 / 2$
  • B
    $m v^2 / 4$
  • C
    $2 m v^2$
  • D
    $m v^2$

Ball $A$ of mass $1 \,kg$ moving along a straight line with a velocity of $4 \,ms^{-1}$ hits another ball $B$ of mass $3 \,kg$ which is at rest. After collision, they stick together and move with the same velocity along the same straight line. If the time of impact of the collision is $0.1 \,s$, then the force exerted on $B$ is (in $\,N$)

$A$ body of mass $1\,kg$ falls freely from a height of $100\,m$ onto a platform of mass $3\,kg$ which is mounted on a spring having spring constant $k = 1.25 \times 10^6\,N/m.$ The body sticks to the platform and the spring's maximum compression is found to be $x.$ Given that $g = 10\,m/s^2,$ the value of $x$ will be close to ................ $cm$.

$A$ ball moving horizontally with a velocity $2 \,ms^{-1}$ strikes the bob of a seconds pendulum at rest. If the mass of the bob is equal to the mass of the ball and the collision is perfectly elastic, after collision the bob of the pendulum will raise to a height of $(g=10 \,ms^{-2})$ (in $\,cm$)

$A$ block of mass $10 \text{ g}$ is suspended from the ceiling by a string. $A$ bullet of mass $10 \text{ g}$ moving with a velocity of $1 \text{ m/s}$ strikes the block and gets embedded in it. To what height will the block rise (in $\text{ cm}$)? (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
