Consider a frictionless ramp on which a smooth object is made to slide down from an initial height $h$. The distance $d$ necessary to stop the object on a flat track (of coefficient of friction $\mu$),kept at the ramp end,is:

  • A
    $h / \mu$
  • B
    $h \mu$
  • C
    $\mu^2 h$
  • D
    $h^2 \mu$

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height $h = 4.9\, m$ on a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic. Which one of the following graphs represents the velocity as a function of time and the height as a function of time?

$A$ particle is projected vertically upwards with a speed of $16 \ m/s$. After some time,when it again passes through the point of projection,its speed is found to be $8 \ m/s$. It is known that the work done by air resistance is the same during upward and downward motion. Then the maximum height attained by the particle is ...................... $m$ $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
