$A$ 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 $\,m$)

  • A
    $0.30$
  • B
    $0.20$
  • C
    $0.35$
  • D
    $0.40$

Which of the following statements is true?

Block $A$ of mass $m$ is hanging from a vertical spring of spring constant $k$ and is at rest. Block $B$ of mass $m$ strikes block $A$ with velocity $v$ and sticks to it. The velocity $v$ for which the spring just attains its natural length is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a horizontal circle of radius $r$ under a centripetal force equal to $-K/r^2$,where $K$ is a constant. The total energy of the particle is

Two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a spring of spring constant $k$,initially at their natural length as shown. $A$ sharp impulse is given to mass $m_2$ so that it acquires a velocity $v_0$ towards the right. If the system is kept on a smooth floor,find the maximum elongation that the spring will suffer.
