Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $1.5 \ kg$ and $3 \ kg$ are moving with velocities $20 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $15 \ m \ s^{-1}$ respectively. If the same retarding force is applied on the two bodies,then the ratio of the distances travelled by the bodies $A$ and $B$ before they come to rest is

  • A
    $1: 1$
  • B
    $8: 9$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $3: 8$

If a skater of mass $3 \,kg$ has an initial speed of $32 \,m/s$ and a second skater of mass $4 \,kg$ has a speed of $5 \,m/s$. After a perfectly inelastic collision,they move together with a speed of $5 \,m/s$. Calculate the loss in kinetic energy.

$A$ body of mass $2.9 \, kg$ is suspended from a string of length $2.5 \, m$ and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $100 \, g$ strikes the block horizontally with velocity $150 \, m/s$ and sticks to it. What is the maximum angle made by the string with the vertical after the impact? (Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ mass of $2.9 \ kg$ is suspended from a string of length $50 \ cm$ and is at rest. Another body of mass $100 \ g$,which is moving horizontally with a velocity of $150 \ m/s$,strikes and sticks to it. Subsequently,when the string makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,the tension in the string is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$. (in $N$)
