Two trolleys of mass $m$ and $3m$ are connected by a spring. They are compressed and released; once released,they move off in opposite directions and come to rest after covering distances $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively. Assuming the coefficient of friction to be uniform,the ratio of distances $S_1:S_2$ is:

  • A
    $1:9$
  • B
    $1:3$
  • C
    $3:1$
  • D
    $9:1$

An object of mass $M$ is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. Objects of different masses collide head-on elastically with the object of mass $M$. All colliding objects have the same fixed kinetic energy $E$,and in each case,mass $M$ is initially at rest. The kinetic energy transferred to the stationary mass $M$ depends on the linear momentum $P$ of the incoming colliding mass. How does the energy transferred to $M$ vary with the linear momentum $P$?

$A$ bullet loses $\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)^{th}$ of its velocity while passing through one plank. The number of such planks required to stop the bullet is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi-circular track from a height $h$ as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track,it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass $m$. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide,the maximum height that the block-putty system could reach is:

$A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is placed at point $A$ on a rough path. It is gently pushed to the right. It slides down the slope and reaches point $B$. Find the work done by the friction force on the block during the journey from point $A$ to point $B$ in $J$. (Assume the vertical height difference between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2 \ m$ and the block starts and ends at rest).
