If a rubber ball falls from a height $h$ and rebounds up to a height of $h/2$,the percentage loss of total energy of the initial system and the velocity of the ball just before it strikes the ground,respectively,are:

  • A
    $50 \%, \sqrt{\frac{gh}{2}}$
  • B
    $50 \%, \sqrt{gh}$
  • C
    $40 \%, \sqrt{2gh}$
  • D
    $50 \%, \sqrt{2gh}$

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are lying on a smooth horizontal surface,as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ have equal masses $m$,while $C$ has mass $M$. Block $A$ is given an initial speed $v$ towards $B$,due to which it collides with $B$ perfectly inelastically. The combined mass then collides with $C$,also perfectly inelastically. If $5/6^{th}$ of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the whole process,what is the value of $M/m$?

$A$ force of $10 \ N$ acting at an angle on a particle produces a displacement of $(3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{\jmath}) \ m$. Due to this force,if the kinetic energy of the particle is decreased by $25 \ J$,then the angle between the force and the displacement is:

$A$ ball is thrown vertically downwards from a height of $20 \, m$ with an initial velocity $v_0$. It collides with the ground,loses $50\%$ of its energy in the collision,and rebounds to the same height. The initial velocity $v_0$ is .................... $m/s$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
