$A$ particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that:

  • A
    Its velocity is constant
  • B
    Its acceleration is constant
  • C
    Its kinetic energy is constant
  • D
    It moves in a straight line

From a height of $h$ above the ground, a ball is projected up at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. If the ball strikes the ground with a speed of $1.25$ times its initial speed of $40 \,ms^{-1}$, the value of $h$ is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,m$)

$A$ ball of mass $0.4 \ kg$ is thrown vertically upwards by applying a force by hand. If the hand moves $0.5 \ m$ while applying the force and the ball goes up to $5 \ m$ height further,find the magnitude of the force (in $N$) $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ block weighing $20 \ N$ travels down a smooth curved track $AB$ joined to a rough horizontal surface (figure). The rough surface has a friction coefficient of $0.40$ with the block. If the block starts slipping on the track from a point $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,the distance it will move on the rough surface is: (in $m$)

$A$ pendulum bob on a $2\, m$ string is displaced $60^\circ$ from the vertical and then released. What is the speed of the bob as it passes through the lowest point in its path? (Take $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$)

$A$ bullet of mass $20\,g$ has an initial speed of $1\,ms^{-1}$ just before it starts penetrating a mud wall of thickness $20\,cm.$ If the wall offers a mean resistance of $2.5 \times 10^{-2}\,N,$ the speed of the bullet after emerging from the other side of the wall is close to .............. $ms^{-1}$
