$A$ block of mass $m$ starts at rest at height $h$ on a frictionless inclined plane. The block slides down the plane,travels across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$,and compresses a spring with force constant $k$ a distance $x$ before momentarily coming to rest. Then the spring extends and the block travels back across the rough surface,sliding up the plane. The block travels a total distance $d$ on the rough horizontal surface. The correct expression for the maximum height $h'$ that the block reaches on its return is

  • A
    $mgh' = mgh - \mu mgd$
  • B
    $mgh' = mgh + \mu mgd$
  • C
    $mgh' = mgh + \mu mgd + kx^2$
  • D
    $mgh' = mgh - \mu mgd - kx^2$

An object falls from a height of $20 \ cm$ on the surface of the Earth. If $75\%$ of its mechanical energy is lost after striking the Earth,the object will rebound to a height of ......... $cm$.

$A$ and $B$ are blocks of same mass $m$ exactly equivalent to each other. Both are placed on a frictionless surface connected by a spring. The natural length of the spring is $L$ and the force constant is $K$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Another equivalent block $C$ of mass $m$ travelling at speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. In an ideal condition,the maximum compression of the spring is:

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{1}$ moving with velocity $(\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, m/s$ collides with another particle $B$ of mass $m_{2}$ which is at rest initially. Let $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ be the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ after collision,respectively. If $m_{1} = 2m_{2}$ and after collision $\vec{V}_{1} = (\hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j}) \, m/s$,the angle between $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ is $......^{\circ}$.

$A$ rain drop of radius $2 \; mm$ falls from a height of $500 \; m$ above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height,it attains its maximum (terminal) speed,and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is $10 \; m s^{-1}$?
