Consider two carts, of masses $m$ and $2m$ , at rest on an air track. If you push both the carts for $3\,s$ exerting equal force on each, the kinetic energy of the light cart is

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

Body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2 m$ at rest the collision is head on and elastic in nature. After the collision the fraction of energy lost by colliding body $A$ is

$Assertion$ : If collision occurs between two elastic bodies their kinetic energy decreases during the time of collision.
$Reason$ : During collision intermolecular space decreases and hence elastic potential energy increases
