$A$ $750 \ kg$ boat is $10 \ m$ long and is floating without motion on still water. $A$ man of mass $80 \ kg$ is at one end. If he runs to the other end of the boat and stops,the displacement of the boat is:

  • A
    $1.8 \ m$ in the direction of displacement of the man
  • B
    $0.96 \ m$ in the direction opposite to the displacement of the man
  • C
    $0.96 \ m$ in the direction of displacement of the man
  • D
    $1.8 \ m$ in the direction opposite to the displacement of the man

Two particles of equal masses have velocities $\overrightarrow{v_1} = 2\hat{i} \ m/s$ and $\overrightarrow{v_2} = 2\hat{j} \ m/s$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a_1} = (3\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \ m/s^2$,while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a

Two men $A$ and $B$ are standing on a plank. $B$ is at the middle of the plank and $A$ is at the left end of the plank. The bottom surface of the plank is smooth. The system is initially at rest and the masses are as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ start moving such that the position of $B$ remains fixed with respect to the ground and $A$ meets $B$. Then the point where $A$ meets $B$ is located at

$A$ particle of mass $3m$ is projected from the ground at some angle with the horizontal. The horizontal range is $R$. At the highest point of its path,it breaks into two pieces of mass $m$ and $2m$. The smaller mass comes to rest,and the larger mass finally falls at a distance $x$ from the point of projection. The value of $x$ is:
