An ideal spring is connected between two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$. This system can move on a smooth horizontal table. The blocks are brought closer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion,select the true statement$(s)$:
$(a)$ They move in opposite directions with speeds inversely proportional to their masses.
$(b)$ The ratio of their speeds remains constant.
$(c)$ Linear momentum and energy of the system remain conserved.

  • A
    only $a$
  • B
    both $a$ and $c$
  • C
    only $c$
  • D
    $a, b$ and $c$

$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of weight $100 \, N$ rests on a rough peg at $C$ and a force $F$ acts at $A$ as shown in the figure. If $BC = CM$ and $\tan \alpha = 4/3$,the minimum coefficient of friction at $C$ is:

$A$ ball of mass $m$ is released from the top of a smooth movable wedge of mass $m$. When the ball collides with the floor,the velocity of the wedge is $v$. Then the maximum height attained by the ball after an elastic collision with the floor is: (Neglect any edge at the lower end of the wedge).

$A$ block of mass $M = 10\,kg$ rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $\mu = 0.05.$ When hit by a bullet of mass $m = 50\,g$ moving with speed $v,$ which gets embedded in it,the block moves and comes to a stop after moving a distance of $2\,m$ on the table. If a freely falling object were to acquire speed $\frac{v}{10}$ after being dropped from height $H,$ then neglecting energy losses and taking $g = 10\,m/s^2,$ the value of $H$ is close to ................. $km$.

The masses of blocks $A$ and $B$ are $100 \, kg$ and $200 \, kg$ respectively. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$,and the coefficient of friction between $B$ and the ground is $0.3$. What force $F$ (in $N$) must be applied to block $B$ to make it move?
