$A$ block of mass $m$ is hung vertically from an elastic thread of force constant $\frac{2mg}{a}$. Initially,the thread is at its natural length and the block is allowed to fall freely. The work done on the block by the Earth when it passes through the equilibrium position will be:

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{mga}{2}$
  • C
    $mga$
  • D
    $\frac{mga}{4}$

$A$ bungee jumper is jumping with the help of an elastic ideal rope (force constant $K$). The jumper steps off the bridge and falls from rest towards the river below. He does not hit the water. The mass of the jumper is $m$,and the natural length of the rope is $l$. Gravity is $g$. Assuming everything is ideal,choose the incorrect option.

$A$ $15\, g$ ball is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant of $600\, N/m$. The spring is compressed by $3\, cm$. The greatest possible velocity of the ball for this compression is ............. $m/s$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.
