A body of mass $m= 10^{-2}$ $kg$ is moving in a medium and experiences a frictional force $F= -kv^2$. Its initial speed is $v_0= 10$ $ms^{-1}$. If, after $10\; s$, its energy is $\frac{1}{8}$ $mv_0^2$ the value of $k$ will be

A cricket ball of mass $0.15\, kg$ is thrown vertically up by a bowling machine so that it rises to a maximum height of $20 \;m$ after leaving the machine. If the part pushing the ball applies a constant force $F$ on the ball and moves horizontally a distance of $0.2\, m$ while launching the ball, the value of $F($ in $N)$ is

The bob of a pendulum is released from a horizontal position. If the length of the pendulum is $1.\;5 m$, what is the speed (in $m/s$) with which the bob arrives at the lowermost point, given that it dissipated $5\%$ of its initial energy against air resistance ?

A uniform chain of mass $m$ and length $L$ is originally placed mid-way on the top of a fixed smooth double-sided wedge (Figure- $A$). The length of each side of the wedge is $L$ . It is then given a slight push. The kinetic energy of the chain when the whole chain has just slid to the left side of the wedge (Figure- $B$), is :

A rocket accelerates straight up by ejecting gas downwards. In a small time interval $\Delta t$, it ejects a gas of mass $\Delta m$ at a relative speed $u$. Calculate $KE$ of the entire system at $t + \Delta t$ and $t$ and show that the device that ejects gas does work $=(\frac {1}{2})\Delta mu^2$ in this time interval (negative gravity).
