$A$ particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that:

  • A
    Its velocity is constant
  • B
    Its acceleration is constant
  • C
    Its kinetic energy is constant
  • D
    It moves in a straight line

The velocity at which the $6 \text{ kg}$ mass (shown in the figure) strikes the ground when it is released from a height of $6 \text{ m}$ above the ground is . . . . . . $\text{m/s}$. Assume the pulley is massless and the string is light and inextensible. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

$A$ particle is released from a height $H$. At a certain height,its kinetic energy is half of its potential energy with reference to the surface of the earth. The height and speed of the particle at that instant are respectively:

What is the velocity of the bob when it reaches point $B$ in $m/s$?

From a height of $h$ above the ground, a ball is projected up at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. If the ball strikes the ground with a speed of $1.25$ times its initial speed of $40 \,ms^{-1}$, the value of $h$ is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,m$)
