Two carts of masses $200 \, kg$ and $300 \, kg$ on horizontal rails are pushed apart. Suppose the coefficient of friction between the carts and the rails is the same. If the $200 \, kg$ cart travels a distance of $36 \, m$ and stops,then the distance travelled by the cart weighing $300 \, kg$ is ........ $m$.

$A$ balloon of total mass $M$ and a fixed size starts coming down with an acceleration $f$ $(f < g)$. The fraction of the total mass of the balloon which must be dropped from it so that it starts going up with an acceleration of $f$ (assuming negligible air resistance) is

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. When a person walks on a rough surface,the direction of the frictional force exerted by the surface on the person is in the same direction as his motion.
$B$. When a cycle is in motion,the force of friction exerted by the ground on the front wheel is in the backward direction.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ falls from rest through a resistive medium having a resistive force, $F = -kv$, where $v$ is the velocity of the particle and $k$ is a constant. Which of the following graphs represents velocity $(v)$ versus time $(t)$?

$A$ car of mass $500\, kg$ is driven with acceleration $1\, m/s^2$ along a straight level road against a constant external resistance of $1000\, N$. When the velocity is $5\, m/s$,the rate at which the engine is working is .............. $kW$.

Two situations are shown in figures $(a)$ and $(b)$. In each case,$m_1 = 3 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 4 \ kg$. If $a_1$ and $a_2$ are the respective accelerations of the blocks in these situations,then the values of $a_1$ and $a_2$ are respectively [ $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ ]
