Two trolleys of mass $m$ and $3m$ are connected by a spring. They are compressed and released; once released,they move off in opposite directions and come to rest after covering distances $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively. Assuming the coefficient of friction to be uniform,the ratio of distances $S_1:S_2$ is:

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

$A$ bullet of mass $0.012\;kg$ and horizontal speed $70\;m\;s^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.4\;kg$ and instantly comes to rest with respect to the block. The block is suspended from the ceiling by means of thin wires. Calculate the height to which the block rises. Also,estimate the amount of heat produced in the block.

$A$ bullet of mass $0.02 \ kg$ travelling horizontally with velocity $250 \ ms^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.23 \ kg$ which rests on a rough horizontal surface. After the impact,the block and bullet move together and come to rest after travelling a distance of $40 \ m$. The coefficient of sliding friction of the rough surface is $\left(g=9.8 \ ms^{-2}\right)$

On complete combustion,a litre of petrol releases heat equivalent to $3 \times 10^7 \, J$. In a test drive,a car weighing $1200 \, kg$ (including the driver) travels $15 \, km$ per litre while moving at a uniform speed on a straight track. Assuming that the friction offered by the road surface and air is uniform,calculate the force of friction acting on the car during the test drive,given that the efficiency of the car engine is $0.5$.
