$A$ ball of mass $m_1$ falls from height $h_1$ from rest to strike a spring of force constant $K$,which forces another ball of mass $m_2$ to jump on a horizontal floor at a height $h_2$ below it. Find the horizontal distance at which the ball of mass $m_2$ strikes the floor from the position of the start. [Assume the spring is fixed and the collision is elastic].

  • A
    $[\frac{m_1 h_1 h_2}{m_2}]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[\frac{4m_1 h_1 h_2}{m_2}]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $[\frac{m_1 h_1^2 h_2}{m_2(h_1+h_2)}]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $[\frac{m_1 h_1 h_2}{m_2}]^{1/2}$

$A$ box of mass $3 \,kg$ moves on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with another box of mass $3 \,kg$ initially at rest on the edge of the table at height $1 \,m$. The speed of the moving box just before the collision is $4 \,m/s$. The two boxes stick together and fall from the table. The kinetic energy just before the boxes strike the floor is (Assume, acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,J$)

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ If $\overrightarrow P \cdot \overrightarrow Q = 0$,then the angle between $\overrightarrow P$ and $\overrightarrow Q$ is $0^o$.
$(b)$ If two bodies stick together after a collision,the collision is called an elastic collision.
$(c)$ When an equal force is applied to a heavy and a light object on the same surface,more work is done by the force on the heavy object.

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $h$,calculate the value of $h$.

The sign of work done by a force on a body is important to understand. State carefully if the following quantities are positive or negative:
$(a)$ Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket.
$(b)$ Work done by gravitational force in the above case.
$(c)$ Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane.
$(d)$ Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity.
$(e)$ Work done by the resistive force of air on a vibrating pendulum in bringing it to rest.

The friction coefficient between the horizontal surface and each of the blocks shown in the figure is $\mu = 0.2$. The collision between the blocks is perfectly elastic. What is the separation between the blocks when they come to rest? (in $cm$)
