Two blocks $1$ and $2$ of equal mass $m$ are connected by an ideal string over a frictionless pulley. The blocks are attached to the ground by springs having spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that $k_1 > k_2$. Initially,both springs are unstretched. Block $1$ is slowly pulled down a distance $x$ and released. Just after the release,the possible values of the magnitudes of the accelerations of the blocks $a_1$ and $a_2$ can be

  • A
    either $(a_1=a_2=\frac{(k_1+k_2) x}{2 m})$ or $(a_1=\frac{k_1 x}{m}-g$ and $a_2=\frac{k_2 x}{m}+g)$
  • B
    $(a_1=a_2=\frac{(k_1+k_2) x}{2 m})$ only
  • C
    $(a_1=a_2=\frac{(k_1-k_2) x}{2 m})$ only
  • D
    either $(a_1=a_2=\frac{(k_1-k_2) x}{2 m})$ or $(a_1=a_2=\frac{(k_1 k_2) x}{(k_1+k_2) m}-g)$

$A$ disc of mass $0.2 \ kg$ is kept floating in air without falling by vertically firing bullets each of mass $0.05 \ kg$ on the disc at the rate of $10$ bullets per second. If the bullets rebound with the same speed,then the speed of each bullet is (Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

$Assertion$ : $A$ man and a block rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man holds a rope which is connected to the block. The man cannot move on the horizontal surface.
$Reason$ : $A$ man standing at rest on a smooth horizontal surface cannot start walking due to the absence of friction (The man is only in contact with the floor as shown).
