Four smooth steel balls of equal mass at rest are free to move along a straight line without friction. The first ball is given a velocity of $0.4\, m/s$. It collides head on with the second elastically, the second one similarly with the third and so on. The velocity of the last ball is .............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$
$0.4$
$0.2$
$0.1$
$0.05$
A body of mass $1\, kg$ is thrown upwards with a velocity $20\, m/s$. It momentarily comes to rest after attaining a height of $18\, m$. How much energy is lost due to air friction ............. $\mathrm{J}$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
A mass of $0.5\, kg$ moving with a speed of $1.5\, m/s$ on a horizontal smooth surface, collides with a nearly weightless spring of force constant $k=50\,N/m$. The maximum compression of the spring would be ................. $\mathrm{m}$
A particle of mass $m$ is moving in a circular path of constant radius $r$ such that its centripetal acceleration $ac$ is varying with time t as $a_c = k^2rt^2$ where $k$ is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it
A ball is dropped from height $h$ on a plane. If the coefficient of restitution of the plane is $e$ and if ball hits ground two times, the height upto which it reaches after two jumps, will be
A 3.628 kg freight car moving along a horizontal rail road spur track at $7.2\; km/hour$ strikes a bumper whose coil springs experiences a maximum compression of $30 \;cm$ in stopping the car. The elastic potential energy of the springs at the instant when they are compressed $15\; cm$ is [2013]
