$A$ train is moving along the tracks at a constant speed $u$. $A$ girl on the train throws a ball of mass $m$ straight ahead along the direction of motion of the train with speed $v$ with respect to herself. Then

  • A
    Kinetic energy of the ball as measured by the girl on the train is $mv^2 / 2$
  • B
    Work done by the girl in throwing the ball is $mv^2 / 2$
  • C
    Work done by the train is $mvu$
  • D
    The gain in kinetic energy of the ball as measured by a person standing by the rail track is $mv^2 / 2$

$A$ block of mass $m = 0.1\,kg$ is connected to a spring of unknown spring constant $k.$ It is compressed to a distance $x$ from its equilibrium position and released from rest. After approaching half the distance $(\frac{x}{2})$ from the equilibrium position,it hits another block and comes to rest momentarily,while the other block moves with a velocity $3\,m/s.$ The total initial energy of the spring is ................ $J$.

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are throwing a ball of mass $200 \ g$ at a wall as shown in the figure. The balls strike the wall perpendicularly at the same point at a height of $2 \ m$ from the ground. The balls strike the wall elastically at the same time and return back to $A$ and $B$ at the same time. They repeat this process. What is the average force exerted on the wall (in $N$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
