Two bodies of masses $m$ and $2m$ are attached to the two ends of an ideal spring. The spring is compressed. The total energy stored in the spring is $60 \ J$. If the spring is released,then:

  • A
    Both bodies will have equal kinetic energy.
  • B
    Both bodies will have kinetic energy of $10 \ J$.
  • C
    The smaller body will have kinetic energy of $20 \ J$.
  • D
    The smaller body will have kinetic energy of $40 \ J$.

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

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.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ truck and a car moving with the same kinetic energy are brought to rest by applying brakes which provide equal retarding forces. Both come to rest in equal distance.
Statement $II$: $A$ car moving towards the east takes a turn and moves towards the north, the speed remains unchanged. The acceleration of the car is zero.
In the light of the given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

If the kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to time $t,$ the magnitude of force acting on the body is
$(i)$ directly proportional to $\sqrt{t}$
$(ii)$ inversely proportional to $\sqrt{t}$
$(iii)$ directly proportional to the speed of the body
$(iv)$ inversely proportional to the speed of the body

$A$ bullet of mass $10\, g$ moving horizontally with a velocity of $400\, m s^{-1}$ strikes a wood block of mass $2\, kg$ which is suspended by a light inextensible string of length $5\, m$. As a result,the centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of $10\, cm$. The speed of the bullet after it emerges out horizontally from the block will be ................... $m s^{-1}$.
