$A$ wedge of mass $M = 4m$ lies on a frictionless plane. $A$ particle of mass $m$ approaches the wedge with speed $v$. There is no friction between the particle and the plane or between the particle and the wedge. The maximum height climbed by the particle on the wedge is given by

  • A
    $\frac{2v^2}{7g}$
  • B
    $\frac{v^2}{g}$
  • C
    $\frac{2v^2}{5g}$

$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \,m$ has a wooden bob of mass $M = 1 \,kg$. It is struck by a bullet of mass $m = 10^{-2} \,kg$ moving with a speed of $u = 2 \times 10^2 \,m/s$. The bullet gets embedded into the bob. The height to which the bob rises before swinging back is (use $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

$A$ block of weight $10 \ N$ slides down a curved track $AB$ and then onto a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface is $0.20$. If the block starts sliding from a height of $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,calculate the distance $S$ it travels on the rough surface before coming to rest. [$g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$]

$A$ particle of mass $3 \ kg$ is moved slowly along the path $ABCDE$ from $A$ to $E$. The heights of $B$,$C$,and $D$ are $5 \ m$,$4 \ m$,and $6 \ m$ respectively. The total path length is $20 \ m$,the horizontal distance $AE = 10 \ m$,and the coefficient of friction $\mu = 0.6$. Calculate the work done in $J$ to slowly move the mass from $A$ to $E$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)
