A particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with $v_0$ strikes $a$ smooth wedge of mass $M$, as shown in figure. After collision, the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to $a$ height $h$. Choose the correct statement(s) related to particle $m$

  • A

    Its kinetic energy is $K_f = \left( {\frac{{mM}}{{m + M}}} \right)gh$

  • B

    $v_1 = v_0 \left( {\frac{{M - m}}{{M + m}}} \right)$

  • C

    The ratio of its final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy is $\frac{{{K_{\text{f}}}}}{{{K_i}}} = {\left( {\frac{M}{{m + M}}} \right)^2}$

  • D

    It moves opposite to its initial direction of motion

A bomb of mass $12\,\,kg$  at rest explodes into two fragments of masses in the ratio $1 : 3.$  The $K.E.$  of the smaller fragment is $216\,\,J.$  The momentulm of heavier fragment is (in $kg-m/sec$ )

Starting from rest on her swing at initial height $h_0$ above the ground, Saina swings forward. At the lowest point of her motion, she grabs her bag that lies on the ground. Saina continues swinging forward to reach maximum height $h_1$ . She then swings backward and when reaching the lowest point of motion again, she simple lets go off the bag, which falls freely. Saina's backward swing then reaches maximum height $h_2$ . Neglecting air resistance, how are the three heights related?

A man is standing on a cart of mass double the mass of man. Initially cart is at rest. Now man jumps horizontally with relative velocity $'u'$ with respect to cart. Then work done by internal forces of the man during the process of jumping will be :

A particle of mass $m$ with initial kinetics energy $K$ approaches the origin from $x =+\infty$. Assume that a conservative force acts on it and its potential energy $V ( x )$ is given by $V ( x )=\frac{ K }{\exp \left(3 x / x _0\right)+\exp \left(-3 x / x _0\right)}$ where, $x_0=1 m$. The speed of the particle at $x =0$ is
