$10\  m$ is the total mass of a cannon that includs  all shell. Initial cannon is moving with velocity $10\  m$ is along a horizontal frictionless path. If cannon fires $'n$' shells of mass $m$ in the direction of motion of the cannon one by one with velocity $u$ with respect to ground. (neglect any friction force)

A block $(B)$ is attached to two unstretched springs $\mathrm{S} 1$ and $\mathrm{S} 2$ with spring constants $\mathrm{k}$ and $4 \mathrm{k}$, respectively (see figure $\mathrm{I}$ ). The other ends are attached to identical supports $M1$ and $M2$ not attached to the walls. The springs and supports have negligible mass. There is no friction anywhere. The block $\mathrm{B}$ is displaced towards wall $1$ by a small distance $\mathrm{x}$ (figure $II$) and released. The block returns and moves a maximum distance $\mathrm{y}$ towards wall $2$ . Displacements $\mathrm{x}$ and $\mathrm{y}$ are measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the block $B$. The ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ is Figure: $Image$

A block of mass $m$, lying on a smooth horizontal surface, is attached to a spring (of negligible mass) of spring constant $k$. The other end of the spring is fixed, as shown in the figure. The block is initially at rest in a equilibrium position. If now the block is pulled with a constant force $F$, the maximum speed of the block is

slowing down of neutrons: In a nuclear reactor a neutron of high speed (typically $10^{7}\; m s ^{-1}$ ) must be slowed to $10^{3}\; m s ^{-1}$ so that it can have a high probability of interacting with isotope $^{235} _{92} U$ and causing it to fission. Show that a neutron can lose most of its kinetic energy In an elastic collision with a light nuclel like deuterlum or carbon which has a mass of only a few times the neutron mass. The material making up the light nuclel, usually heavy water $\left( D _{2} O \right)$ or graphite, is called a moderator.

A one kg block moves towards a light spring with a velocity of $8\, m/s$. When the spring is compressed by $3\, m$, its momentum becomes half of the original momentum. Spring constant of the spring is :-
