$A$ section of a fixed smooth circular track of radius $R$ in a vertical plane is shown in the figure. $A$ block is released from position $A$ and leaves the track at $B$. The radius of curvature of its trajectory when it just leaves the track at $B$ is:

  • A
    $R$
  • B
    $R / 4$
  • C
    $R / 2$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ rests on a horizontal surface. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving in the horizontal direction strikes and gets embedded in it. The combined system covers a distance $x$ on the surface. If the coefficient of friction between the wood and the surface is $\mu$,the speed of the bullet at the time of striking the block is:

An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object to its initial position along the same path would be:

The mass of a person is $60 \, kg$. If he gains $10^5 \, \text{calories}$ of heat energy from food and the efficiency of his body is $28 \%$,then up to what height can he climb? (approximately) ($g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$,$J = 4.2 \, J/\text{cal}$)

$A$ block of mass '$m$' with an initial kinetic energy '$E$' moves up an inclined plane of inclination '$\theta$'. If '$\mu$' is the coefficient of friction between the plane and the body,the work done against friction before coming to rest is
