$A$ block of mass $m$ starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi-circular track from a height $h$ as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track,it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass $m$. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide,the maximum height that the block-putty system could reach is:

  • A
    $h/4$
  • B
    $h/2$
  • C
    $h$
  • D
    independent of $h$

Two objects having masses in the ratio $1:4$ are at rest. When both of them are subjected to the same force separately,they achieve the same kinetic energy during times $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. Then the ratio of $t_1$ to $t_2$ is

$A$ block of mass $0.18 \ kg$ is attached to a spring of force constant $2 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is $0.1$. Initially,the block is at rest and the spring is unstretched. The block is pushed as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of $0.06 \ m$ and comes to rest. If the initial velocity of the block is $V = N/10 \ m/s$,then what is the value of $N$?
