In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically and has a velocity $v_0$ when it simultaneously hits the two balls and comes to rest. Then,each of the two bigger balls will move after the collision with a speed equal to:

  • A
    $4v_0 / \sqrt{5}$
  • B
    $2v_0 / \sqrt{5}$
  • C
    $v_0 / \sqrt{5}$
  • D
    None

$A$ man of mass $80 \ kg$ goes to the market on a scooter of mass $100 \ kg$ with a certain speed. On application of brakes, the stopping distance is $S_1$. The man returns home on the same scooter, with the same speed with a $60 \ kg$ bag of rice. If $S_2$ is the new stopping distance when the brakes are applied with the same force, then:

$A$ $70\, kg$ man leaps vertically into the air from a crouching position. To take the leap,the man pushes the ground with a constant force $F$ to raise himself. The center of gravity rises by $0.5\, m$ before he leaves the ground. After the leap,the center of gravity rises by another $1\, m$. The maximum power delivered by the muscles is: (Take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is initially at rest at the origin. It is subjected to a force and starts moving along the $x$-axis.

$(A)$ The force applied on the particle is constant
$(B)$ The speed of the particle is proportional to time
