$A$ ball of mass $0.2 \ kg$ is at rest at a height of $5 \ m$. $A$ bullet of mass $0.01 \ kg$ moving horizontally with a velocity $V \ m/s$ strikes the center of the ball. After the collision,the ball and the bullet move independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of $20 \ m$ and the bullet hits the ground at a distance of $100 \ m$ from the base of the pillar. What is the initial velocity $V$ of the bullet in $m/s$?

  • A
    $250$
  • B
    $250 \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $400$
  • D
    $500$

$A$ small block of mass $200 \ g$ is placed on a horizontal slab at a height of $2 \ m$ above the floor. The block is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $10.0 \ cm$. Upon releasing, the block moves horizontally until it leaves the spring. Calculate the horizontal distance covered by the block after leaving the slab and just before hitting the ground. The spring constant is $50 \ N \ m^{-1}$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m$)

$A$ block of mass '$m$' moving on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a spring of spring constant '$K$' and compresses it through a distance '$x$'. The maximum momentum of the block after collision is

$A$ block moving horizontally on a smooth surface with a speed of $40\, m/s$ splits into two parts with masses in the ratio of $1:2$. If the smaller part moves at $60\, m/s$ in the same direction,then the fractional change in kinetic energy is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ above the ground. At the same time,another particle of the same mass is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of $\sqrt{2gh}$. If they collide head-on completely inelastically,the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground,in units of $\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$,is
