A small block of mass $m$ slides along a smooth frictional track as shown in the figure. If it starts from rest at $P$ , velocity of block at point $Q$ is
$\sqrt {2gR} $
$\sqrt {3gR} $
$2\sqrt {2gR} $
Zero
A block of mass $1\,kg$ is pushed up a surface inclined to horizontal at an angle of $30^o$ by a force of $10\,N$ parallel to the inclined surface (figure). The coefficient of friction between block and the incline is $0.1$. If the block is pushed up by $10\,m$ along the inclined calculate
$(a)$ work done against gravity
$(b)$ work done against force of friction
$(c)$ increases in potential energy
$(d)$ increases in kinetic energy
$(e)$ work done by applied force
If the potential energy of a gas molecule is
$U = \frac{M}{{{r^6}}} - \frac{N}{{{r^{12}}}}$,
$M$ and $N$ being positive constants, then the potential energy at equilibrium must be
A particle of mass $4\, m$ which is at rest explodes into three fragments. Two of the fragments each of mass $m$ are found to move with a speed $v$ each in perpendicular directions. The total energy released in the process will be
A batsman hits a sixer and the ball touches the ground outside the cricket ground. Which of the following graph describes the variation of the cricket ball's vertical velocity $v$ with time between the time ${t_1}$ as it hits the bat and time $t_2$ when it touches the ground
A rifle bullets loses $\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)^{th}$ of its velocity in passing through a plank. Assuming that the plank exerts a constant retarding force, the least number of such planks required just to stop the bullet is .............
