$A$ $750 \ kg$ boat is $10 \ m$ long and is floating without motion on still water. $A$ man of mass $80 \ kg$ is at one end. If he runs to the other end of the boat and stops,the displacement of the boat is:

  • A
    $1.8 \ m$ in the direction of displacement of the man
  • B
    $0.96 \ m$ in the direction opposite to the displacement of the man
  • C
    $0.96 \ m$ in the direction of displacement of the man
  • D
    $1.8 \ m$ in the direction opposite to the displacement of the man

Two particles of equal mass have velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_1=4 \hat{i} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_2=4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a}_1=(5 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}$ while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a path of

$A$ firecracker is thrown with a velocity of $30 \, ms^{-1}$ in a direction that makes an angle of $75^{\circ}$ with the vertical axis. At some point on its trajectory,the firecracker splits into two identical pieces in such a way that one piece falls $27 \, m$ far from the shooting point. Assuming that all trajectories are contained in the same plane,how far will the other piece fall from the shooting point? (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ and neglect air resistance)

The figure shows a man of mass $m$ standing at the end $A$ of a trolley of mass $M$ placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end $B$ with a velocity $u_{rel}$ with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is $L$. When the man reaches the end $B$,the distance moved by the trolley with respect to ground is

$A$ piece of wood of mass $0.03\, kg$ is dropped from the top of a $100\, m$ height building. At the same time,a bullet of mass $0.02\, kg$ is fired vertically upward,with a velocity $100\, ms^{-1}$,from the ground. The bullet gets embedded in the wood. Then the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is ........ $m$. $(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air,its fragments fly in such a way that the centre of mass of the fragments continues to move along the same parabolic path that the firecracker would have followed had it not exploded.
Reason $(R)$: The explosion of a firecracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only,and no external force acts to cause this explosion.
