A space craft of mass $'M' $ and moving with velocity $ 'v' $ suddenly breaks in two pieces of same mass $m$. After the explosion one of the mass $ 'm'$  becomes stationary. What is the velocity of the other part of craft

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear simple harmonic motion is given by $V(x)=$ $k x^{2} / 2,$ where $k$ is the force constant of the oscillator. For $k=0.5\; N m ^{-1}$ the graph of $V(x)$ versus $x$ is shown in Figure. Show that a particle of total energy $1 \;J$ moving under this potential must 'turn back" when it reaches $x=\pm 2 m$

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 $m$ 

Write the principle of conservation of mechanical energy for non-conservative force.

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

A sphere of mass $m$, moving with velocity $V$, enters a hanging bag of sand and stops. If the mass of the bag is $M$ and it is raised by height $h$, then the velocity of the sphere was
