It is projected towards the right from the origin with a speed $v$. What is the minimum value of $v$ for which the particle will escape infinitely far away from the origin? (in $ms^{-1}$)

  • A

  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

An object of mass $500 \; g$, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force whose $X$-component varies with $X$ as shown in the graph. The velocities of the object at $X = 8 \; m$ and $X = 12 \; m$ are, respectively:

$A$ block of mass $m=1 \; kg$ moving on a horizontal surface with speed $v_{i}=2 \; m \; s^{-1}$ enters a rough patch ranging from $x=0.10 \; m$ to $x=2.01 \; m$. The retarding force $F$ on the block in this range is inversely proportional to $x$ over this range,$F_{r} = -k/x$ for $0.1 < x < 2.01 \; m$,and $F_{r} = 0$ for $x < 0.1 \; m$ and $x > 2.01 \; m$,where $k=0.5 \; J$. What is the final kinetic energy $K_{f}$ and speed $v_{f}$ of the block as it crosses this patch?
