$A$ particle of mass $m$ is at rest in a train moving with constant velocity with respect to the ground. Now,the particle is accelerated by a constant force $F_0$ acting along the direction of motion of the train for time $t_0$. $A$ girl in the train and a boy on the ground measure the work done by this force. Which of the following are $INCORRECT$?

  • A
    Both will measure the same work
  • B
    Boy will measure higher value than the girl
  • C
    Girl will measure higher value than the boy
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are lying on a smooth horizontal surface,as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ have equal masses $m$,while $C$ has mass $M$. Block $A$ is given an initial speed $v$ towards $B$,due to which it collides with $B$ perfectly inelastically. The combined mass then collides with $C$,also perfectly inelastically. If $5/6^{th}$ of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the whole process,what is the value of $M/m$?

In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically with a velocity $v_0$. It simultaneously hits the two balls. The smaller ball (top ball) does not stop after the collision but continues to move downwards with a speed $v_0/2$. Find the speed of each bigger ball after the collision.

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
According to observer $B$,the potential energy of the spring increases:
