Consider two carts,of masses $m$ and $2m$,at rest on an air track. If you push both the carts for $3\,s$ exerting equal force on each,the kinetic energy of the light cart is

Two cars,both of mass $m$,collide and stick together. Prior to the collision,one car had been traveling north at speed $2v$,while the second was traveling at speed $v$ at an angle $\phi$ south of east (as indicated in the figure). The magnitude of the velocity of the two-car system immediately after the collision is:

$A$ student skates up a ramp that makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed $v_0$ and wants to turn around over a semicircular path $xyz$ of radius $R$ during which he/she reaches a maximum height $h$ (at point $y$) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
$(A)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{1}{2} gR$
$(B)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} gR$
$(C)$ The centripetal force required at points $x$ and $z$ is zero.
$(D)$ The centripetal force required is maximum at points $x$ and $z$.

$A$ body of mass $(4m)$ is lying in the $x-y$ plane at rest. It suddenly explodes into three pieces. Two pieces,each of mass $(m)$,move perpendicular to each other with equal speeds $(v)$. The total kinetic energy generated due to the explosion is ................. $mv^2$.

$A$ man is slipping on a frictionless inclined plane and a bag falls down from the same height. Then the velocity of both is related as

For a collision between two particles,which of the following quantities is generally conserved?
