$A$ shell at rest on a smooth horizontal surface explodes into two fragments of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If just after explosion $m_1$ moves with speed $u$,then the work done by internal forces during the explosion is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\left(m_1+m_2\right) \frac{m_2}{m_1} u^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\left(m_1+m_2\right) u^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} m_1 u^2\left(1+\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}\left(m_2-m_1\right) u^2$

$A$ bead of mass $m$ slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring of constant $k$ attached to the bottom of the hoop. The natural (equilibrium) length of the spring is $R$. If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with negligible initial speed,what is the velocity of the bead when the length of the spring becomes $R$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
