$10m$ is the total mass of a cannon that includes all shells. Initially, the cannon is moving with a velocity of $10 \ m/s$ along a horizontal frictionless path. If the cannon fires $n$ shells of mass $m$ in the direction of motion of the cannon one by one with velocity $u$ with respect to the ground, which of the following statements is correct? (Neglect any friction force)

  • A
    If $u > 10$, after some shots $(n > 1)$, the velocity of the cannon may become $u$.
  • B
    If $u < 10$, after some shots $(n > 1)$, the velocity of the cannon may become $u$.
  • C
    If $u = 10$, after some shots $(n > 1)$, the velocity of the cannon may become $u$.
  • D
    For any speed $u$ and any number of shots, the cannon speed cannot be $u$.

$A$ buggy of mass $100\, kg$ is free to move on a frictionless horizontal track. Two men,each of mass $50\, kg$,are standing on the buggy,which is initially stationary. The men jump off the buggy with a velocity of $10\, m/s$ relative to the buggy. In one situation,the men jump one after the other. In another situation,the men jump simultaneously. What is the ratio of the recoil velocities of the buggy in the two cases?

$A$ block of mass $m$ is moving with a velocity $u$ on a smooth horizontal surface towards a wedge of same mass $m$ initially kept at rest. The wedge is free to move in any direction. Initially, the block moves up the smooth inclined plane of the wedge to a height $h$ and then moves down back to the horizontal plane. In this process, the wedge gains a velocity equal to:
