Two trolleys of mass $m$ and $3m$ are connected by a spring. They are compressed and released; once released,they move off in opposite directions and come to rest after covering distances $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively. Assuming the coefficient of friction to be uniform,the ratio of distances $S_1:S_2$ is:

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

Assertion $(A)$: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,the total kinetic energy $(KE)$ is conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e.,when they are in contact).
Reason $(R)$: Energy spent against friction does not follow the law of conservation of energy.

From a building, two balls $A$ and $B$ are thrown such that $A$ is thrown upwards and $B$ is thrown downwards (both vertically) with the same speed. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then:

An athlete throws a shotput of mass $25 \,kg$ with an initial speed of $4 \,ms^{-1}$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal from a height of $2 \,m$ above the ground. Assuming air resistance to be negligible,the kinetic energy of the shotput when it just touches the ground is . . . . . . $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,J$)

Two rectangular blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $2 \,kg$ and $3 \,kg$ respectively are connected by a spring of spring constant $10.8 \,Nm^{-1}$ and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block $A$ is given an initial velocity of $0.15 \,ms^{-1}$ in the direction shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring during the motion is (in $\,m$)

$A$ bullet of mass $4\,g$ is fired horizontally with a speed of $300\,m/s$ into a $0.8\,kg$ block of wood at rest on a table. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $0.3$,how far will the block slide approximately (in $,m$)?
