The system shown in the figure is in equilibrium and at rest. The spring and string are massless. Now,the string is cut. The acceleration of mass $2m$ and $m$ just after the string is cut will be:

  • A
    $\frac{g}{2}$ upwards,$g$ downwards
  • B
    $g$ upwards,$\frac{g}{2}$ downwards
  • C
    $g$ upwards,$2g$ downwards
  • D
    $2g$ upwards,$g$ downwards

In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Imagine a situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside an elevator that can move only in the vertical direction and compare the situation with the case when it is placed on the ground. When the elevator accelerates downward with $a_0 (< g)$,then

$A$ block is placed on a rough horizontal plane. $A$ time-dependent horizontal force $F = kt$ acts on the block,where $k$ is a positive constant. The acceleration-time graph of the block is

Work done by frictional force is:

$A$ pebble of mass $0.05 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble,$(a)$ during its upward motion,$(b)$ during its downward motion,$(c)$ at the highest point where it is momentarily at rest. Do your answers change if the pebble was thrown at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal direction? Ignore air resistance.

The graph below shows the variation of a force $F$ with time $t$ on a body which is moving in a straight line. The dependence of force on time is $F \propto t^{n}$. Initially,the body is at rest. If the speed of the object is $2 \, m/s$ at $3 \, s$,then the speed at $4 \, s$ will be approximately (in $m/s$):
