$A$ particle of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ above the ground. At the same time,another particle of the same mass is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of $\sqrt{2gh}$. If they collide head-on completely inelastically,the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground,in units of $\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$,is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The maximum height $h$ attained by the particle is:

$A$ simple pendulum of length $L = \frac{10}{3} \text{ m}$ with a bob of mass $M = 3m$ is hanging freely from a rigid support. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired with a velocity $u = 50 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ from the ground at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. When the bullet is at its highest point of its trajectory,it collides head-on with the bob of the pendulum and gets embedded in the bob. After collision,if the pendulum moves through a maximum angle of $120^{\circ}$,then the value of $\theta$ is $(g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$.

$A$ bullet fired into a fixed target loses half of its velocity after penetrating $1\,cm$. How much further will it penetrate before coming to rest,assuming that it faces constant resistance to motion?

$A$ spherical bowl of radius $R = 2 \ m$ is placed on a horizontal plane. $A$ particle of mass $m = 1 \ g$ oscillates on its inner surface.
