$A$ bullet of mass $m$ enters a wooden block of length $L$ at a speed $v_1$ and emerges out of the block with a speed $v_2$. If $F$ is the average force which impeded its motion through the wooden block, then (Assume uniform deceleration inside the block):

  • A
    $F = \frac{m}{2L}(v_1^2 - v_2^2)$
  • B
    $F = \frac{m}{2L}(v_2^2 - v_1^2)$
  • C
    $F = \frac{m}{2L}(v_1^2 + v_2^2)$
  • D
    $F = \frac{m}{L}(v_1^2 - v_2^2)$

Consider an elliptically shaped rail $PQ$ in the vertical plane with $OP = 3 \ m$ and $OQ = 4 \ m$. $A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is pulled along the rail from $P$ to $Q$ with a force of $18 \ N$,which is always parallel to the line $PQ$ (see the figure). Assuming no frictional losses,the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches $Q$ is $(n \times 10) \ J$. The value of $n$ is (take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

$A$ demonstration apparatus on a table in the lab is shown in the diagram. It consists of a metal track (shown as a thick solid line in the figure) along which a perfectly spherical marble can roll without slipping. In one run,the marble is released from rest at a height $h$ above the table on the left section,rolls down one side and then up the other side without slipping,briefly stopping when it has reached $h_1$. Assuming the table to be horizontal and neglecting air drag as well as any energy loss due to rolling,which of the following is true?
