$A$ stick of length $l$ and mass $M$ lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. $A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with the stick at one of its ends as shown in the figure. If after the collision the ball comes to rest,what should be the mass of the ball?

  • A
    $m = 2M$
  • B
    $m = M$
  • C
    $m = \frac{M}{2}$
  • D
    $m = \frac{M}{4}$

$A$ ring of mass $m = 1 \ kg$ and radius $R = 1.25 \ m$ is kept on a rough horizontal ground. $A$ small body of same mass $m = 1 \ kg$ is stuck to the top of the ring. When it is given a slight push forward,the ring starts rolling purely on the ground. What is the maximum speed of the centre of the ring (in $m/s$)?

In the following problem,indicate the correct direction of the friction force acting on a cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$,which is pulled on a rough surface by a constant horizontal force $F$ applied at its center. The friction force can be represented by which of the following diagrams?

$A$ uniform sphere of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The sphere is struck horizontally at a height $h$ from the floor. Match the following:
$(a)$ $h = \frac{R}{2}$$(i)$ Sphere rolls without slipping with a constant velocity and no loss of energy.
$(b)$ $h = R$$(ii)$ Sphere spins clockwise,loses energy by friction.
$(c)$ $h = \frac{3R}{2}$$(iii)$ Sphere spins anti-clockwise,loses energy by friction.
$(d)$ $h = \frac{7R}{5}$$(iv)$ Sphere has only a translational motion,loses energy by friction.

$A$ roller is made by joining together two cones at their vertices $O$. It is kept on two rails $AB$ and $CD$,which are placed asymmetrically (see figure),with its axis perpendicular to $CD$ and its centre $O$ at the centre of the line joining $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure). It is given a light push so that it starts rolling with its centre $O$ moving parallel to $CD$ in the direction shown. As it moves,the roller will tend to

$A$ circular hoop of mass $m$ and radius $R$ rests flat on a horizontal frictionless surface. $A$ bullet,also of mass $m$ and moving with a velocity $v$,strikes the hoop and gets embedded in it. The thickness of the hoop is much smaller than $R$. The angular velocity with which the system rotates after the bullet strikes the hoop is
