Two rectangular blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $2 \,kg$ and $3 \,kg$ respectively are connected by a spring of spring constant $10.8 \,Nm^{-1}$ and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block $A$ is given an initial velocity of $0.15 \,ms^{-1}$ in the direction shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring during the motion is (in $\,m$)

  • A
    $0.01$
  • B
    $0.02$
  • C
    $0.05$
  • D
    $0.03$

$A$ ball is dropped vertically downwards from a height $h$ above the ground. It hits the ground inelastically and bounces up vertically. Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance,which of the following graphs represents the variation between speed $(v)$ and height $(h)$ correctly?

$A$ spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 \,N \,m^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 \,kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially, the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 \,kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 \,kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is. . . .

$A$ ball falls freely from a height of $180 \,m$ onto a hard horizontal floor and repeatedly bounces. If the coefficient of restitution is $0.5$, the average speed and average velocity of the ball before it ceases to rebound are respectively (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)
