$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v \text{ m/s}$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed in $\text{m/s}$ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

  • A
    $3v \cos \theta$
  • B
    $2v \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}v \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}v \cos \theta$

The displacement $x$ of a particle moving in one dimension under the action of a constant force is related to the time $t$ by the equation $t = \sqrt{x} + 3$,where $x$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. The work done by the force in the first $6$ seconds is.....$J$

$A$ bead of mass $m$ slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring of constant $k$ attached to the bottom of the hoop. The natural (equilibrium) length of the spring is $R$. If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with negligible initial speed,what is the velocity of the bead when the length of the spring becomes $R$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)

$A$ bullet of mass $10 \,g$ is fired horizontally with a velocity $1000 \,ms^{-1}$ from a rifle situated at a height $50 \,m$ above the ground. If the bullet reaches the ground with a velocity $500 \,ms^{-1}$, the work done against air resistance in the trajectory of the bullet is : $(g=10 \,ms^{-2})$ (in $\,J$)

$A$ ball of mass $1 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $0.4 \ m/s$ collides with another ball of the same mass at rest.
