$A$ bus moving on a level road with a velocity $v$ can be stopped at a distance of $x$ by the application of a retarding force $F$. The load on the bus is increased by $25\%$ by boarding the passengers. Now,if the bus is moving with the same speed and if the same retarding force is applied,the distance travelled by the bus before it stops is

  • A
    $1.25 x$
  • B
    $x$
  • C
    $5 x$
  • D
    $2.5 x$

$A$ bead $P$ slides on a frictionless semi-circular wire $(ACB)$. It is at point $S$ at $t = 0$,and at this instant,the horizontal component of its velocity is $v$. Another bead $Q$ of the same mass as $P$ is ejected from point $A$ at $t = 0$ along the horizontal wire $AB$ with speed $v$. Friction between the beads and the respective wires may be neglected in both cases. Let $t_P$ and $t_Q$ be the respective times taken by beads $P$ and $Q$ to reach point $B$. Then the relation between $t_P$ and $t_Q$ is:

$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is fixed vertically on a table. $A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ onto the free end of the spring,causing the spring to compress by a distance $d$. What is the total work done in this process?

$A$ pendulum bob has a speed of $3 \, m/s$ at its lowest position. The pendulum is $50 \, cm$ long. The speed of the bob, when the string makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical, will be $....... \, m/s$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

As shown in the figure,a particle of mass $10 \ kg$ is placed at a point $A$. When the particle is slightly displaced to its right,it starts moving and reaches the point $B$. The speed of the particle at $B$ is $x \ m/s$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$). The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is:

The average force necessary to stop a bullet of mass $20\, g$ moving with a speed of $250\, m/s$,as it penetrates into the wood for a distance of $12\, cm$ is
