$A$ man of mass $60$ $kg$ wants to lose $5$ $kg$ of mass by climbing up and down stairs. Assume that twice the amount of fat is burned while climbing up compared to climbing down. If burning $1$ $kg$ of fat provides $7000$ $kcal$ of energy, how many times must he climb up and down the stairs to lose $5$ $kg$ of mass (in $\times$)? (Assume the energy spent in climbing up is $20$ $kcal$ and climbing down is $10$ $kcal$ per trip).

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1500$
  • C
    $2000$
  • D
    $2500$

$A$ block of mass '$m$' with an initial kinetic energy '$E$' moves up an inclined plane of inclination '$\theta$'. If '$\mu$' is the coefficient of friction between the plane and the body, the work done against friction before coming to rest is

$A$ spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 \,N \,m^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 \,kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially, the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 \,kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 \,kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is. . . .

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: $A$ point particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with a stationary point particle of mass $M$. If the maximum energy loss possible is given as $f \left( \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \right)$, then $f = \left( \frac{m}{M + m} \right)$.
Statement-$2$: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.

Two balls $A$ and $B$ having masses $1\, kg$ and $2\, kg$,moving with speeds $21\, m/s$ and $4\, m/s$ respectively in opposite directions,collide head-on. After the collision,$A$ moves with a speed of $1\, m/s$ in the same direction. Which of the following statements is correct?
