$A$ sphere of mass $m$ is set in motion with initial velocity $v_0$ on a surface where $kx^n$ is the frictional force,with $k$ and $n$ as constants and $x$ as the distance from the starting point. Find the distance at which the sphere will stop.

  • A
    $[\frac{m v_0^2 (n+1)}{2k}]^{1/(n+1)}$
  • B
    $[\frac{m v_0^2}{2k}]^{1/(n-1)}$
  • C
    $[\frac{2m v_0^2}{k}]^{1/(n-1)}$
  • D
    $[\frac{m v_0^2}{2k(n-1)}]^{1/(n-1)}$

The graph between the resistive force $F$ acting on a body and the distance $x$ covered by the body is shown in the figure. The mass of the body is $25\, kg$ and the initial velocity is $2\, m/s$. When the distance covered by the body is $4\, m$,its kinetic energy would be .............. $J$.

$A$ force $\vec{F} = x^2 y \hat{i} + y^2 \hat{j}$ acts on a particle in a plane $x + y = 10$. The work done by this force during a displacement from $(0, 0)$ to $(4 \ m, 2 \ m)$ is . . . . . . $Joule$ (round off to the nearest integer).

$A$ block of mass $m=1 \; kg$ moving on a horizontal surface with speed $v_{i}=2 \; m \; s^{-1}$ enters a rough patch ranging from $x=0.10 \; m$ to $x=2.01 \; m$. The retarding force $F$ on the block in this range is inversely proportional to $x$ over this range,$F_{r} = -k/x$ for $0.1 < x < 2.01 \; m$,and $F_{r} = 0$ for $x < 0.1 \; m$ and $x > 2.01 \; m$,where $k=0.5 \; J$. What is the final kinetic energy $K_{f}$ and speed $v_{f}$ of the block as it crosses this patch?
