$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a speed $u$ from the ground at an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ w.r.t. horizontal ($x$-axis). When it has reached its maximum height,it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $u \hat{i}$. The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is

  • A
    $\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{4} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{2} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{8} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$

$A$ ball falls freely from rest on to a hard horizontal floor and repeatedly bounces. If the velocity of the ball just before the first bounce is $7 \text{ m/s}$ and the coefficient of restitution is $0.75$. The total distance travelled by the ball before it comes to rest is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $\text{ m}$)

$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \,m$ has a wooden bob of mass $M = 1 \,kg$. It is struck by a bullet of mass $m = 10^{-2} \,kg$ moving with a speed of $u = 2 \times 10^2 \,m/s$. The bullet gets embedded into the bob. The height to which the bob rises before swinging back is (use $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

Two bodies moving towards each other collide and move away in opposite directions. There is some rise in temperature of bodies because a part of the kinetic energy is converted into
