Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ are released from the positions shown in the figure. They collide elastically on the horizontal portion $MN$. All surfaces are smooth. The ratio of the maximum heights attained by $A$ and $B$ after the collision will be (Neglect energy loss at $M$ and $N$):

  • A
    $1 : 4$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $4 : 13$
  • D

From a building, two balls $A$ and $B$ are thrown such that $A$ is thrown upwards and $B$ is thrown downwards (both vertically) with the same speed. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then:

On complete combustion,a litre of petrol releases heat equivalent to $3 \times 10^7 \, J$. In a test drive,a car weighing $1200 \, kg$ (including the driver) travels $15 \, km$ per litre while moving at a uniform speed on a straight track. Assuming that the friction offered by the road surface and air is uniform,calculate the force of friction acting on the car during the test drive,given that the efficiency of the car engine is $0.5$.

Starting from rest on her swing at initial height $h_0$ above the ground,Saina swings forward. At the lowest point of her motion,she grabs her bag that lies on the ground. Saina continues swinging forward to reach maximum height $h_1$. She then swings backward and when reaching the lowest point of motion again,she simply lets go of the bag,which falls freely. Saina's backward swing then reaches maximum height $h_2$. Neglecting air resistance,how are the three heights related?

$A$ bullet of mass $4\,g$ is fired horizontally with a speed of $300\,m/s$ into a $0.8\,kg$ block of wood at rest on a table. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $0.3$,how far will the block slide approximately (in $,m$)?

As shown below, bob $A$ of a pendulum having a massless string of length $R$ is released from $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming an elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob $A$ after the collision will be (take $g$ as acceleration due to gravity):
