Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $1.5 \ kg$ and $3 \ kg$ are moving with velocities $20 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $15 \ m \ s^{-1}$ respectively. If the same retarding force is applied on the two bodies,then the ratio of the distances travelled by the bodies $A$ and $B$ before they come to rest is

  • A
    $1: 1$
  • B
    $8: 9$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $3: 8$

$A$ ball strikes against the floor and returns with double the velocity; in which type of collision is it possible?

To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a rough road having $\mu = 0.5$ and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?
