Two particles $P$ and $Q$ each of mass $3m$ lie at rest on the $X$-axis at points $(-a, 0)$ and $(+a, 0)$,respectively. $A$ third particle $R$ of mass $2m$ initially at the origin moves towards the particle $Q$ with velocity $v$. If all the collisions of the system of $3$ particles are elastic and head-on,the total number of collisions in the system is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $5$

$A$ 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 identical blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,resting on a smooth floor,are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is:
