$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts an equal and opposite force on each cart for the same time $t$. If the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the ground and the carts is the same,find the ratio of the displacements of the two toy carts.

  • A
    $\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{m_2}{m_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{m_1}{m_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{S_1}{S_2} = -\left(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{S_1}{S_2} = -\left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)^2$

$A$ block $A$ of mass $m_1$ rests on a horizontal table. $A$ light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of the table,and from its other end,another block $B$ of mass $m_2$ is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block $A$ and the table is $\mu_k$. When the block $A$ is sliding on the table,the tension in the string is:

$A$ ball rests upon a flat piece of paper on a table top. The paper is pulled horizontally but quickly towards the right as shown. Relative to its initial position with respect to the table,the ball:
$(A)$ Remains stationary if there is no friction between the paper and the ball.
$(B)$ Moves to the left and starts rolling backwards,$i.e.$,to the left if there is friction between the paper and the ball.
$(C)$ Moves forward,$i.e.$,in the direction in which the paper is pulled.
