In a smooth stationary cart of length $d$,a small block is projected along its length with velocity $v$ towards the front. The coefficient of restitution for each collision is $e$. The cart rests on a smooth ground and can move freely. The time taken by the block to come to rest with respect to the cart is:

  • A
    $\frac{ed}{(1 - e)v}$
  • B
    $\frac{ed}{(1 + e)v}$
  • C
    $\frac{d}{e}$
  • D
    infinite

$A$ bullet of mass $0.01\,kg$ and travelling at a speed of $500\,m/s$ strikes a block of mass $2\,kg$ which is suspended by a string of length $5\,m$. The centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of $0.1\,m$. What is the speed of the bullet after it emerges from the block?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a speed $u$ from the ground at an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ w.r.t. horizontal ($x$-axis). When it has reached its maximum height,it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $u \hat{i}$. The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is

Blocks of masses $m, m, 2m, 4m$ and $8m$ are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass $m$,moving with speed $v$ along the same line (see figure) collides with the first mass $m$ in a perfectly inelastic manner. All the subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass $8m$ starts moving,the total energy loss is $p\%$ of the original energy. The value of $p$ is close to:

To maintain a speed of $80\,km/h$ by a bus of mass $500\,kg$ on a plane rough road for $4\,km$ distance,the work done by the engine of the bus will be $........\,kJ$. [The coefficient of friction between the tyre of the bus and the road is $0.04$].
