$A$ ladder $AP$ of length $5\, m$ is inclined to a vertical wall and is slipping over a horizontal surface with a velocity of $2\, m/s$. When the end $A$ is at a distance of $3\, m$ from the wall,what is the velocity of the center of mass $(C.M.)$ of the ladder at this moment (in $, m/s$)?

  • A
    $1.25$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $2$

$A$ piece of wood of mass $0.03\, kg$ is dropped from the top of a $100\, m$ height building. At the same time,a bullet of mass $0.02\, kg$ is fired vertically upward,with a velocity $100\, ms^{-1}$,from the ground. The bullet gets embedded in the wood. Then the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is ........ $m$. $(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ are connected by a massless string which passes over a fixed frictionless pulley. If the system of blocks is released from rest,the speed of the centre of mass of the system of two blocks after a time of $5.4 \ s$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $ms^{-1}$)
