Four smooth steel balls of equal mass at rest are free to move along a straight line without friction. The first ball is given a velocity of $0.4\, m/s$. It collides head on with the second elastically, the second one similarly with the third and so on. The velocity of the last ball is .............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$
$0.4$
$0.2$
$0.1$
$0.05$
A mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass initially at rest. After collision the first mass moves with velocity $\frac{v}{\sqrt 3}$ in a direction perpendicular to its initial direction of motion. The speed of second mass after collision is
A $15\, g$ ball is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant of $600\, N\, m$. The spring is compressed by $3\, cm$. The greatest possible velocity of the ball for this compression is ............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2$)
A body constrained to move along $y-$ axis is subjected to a constant force $\vec F = - \hat i + 2\hat j + 3\hat k\,N$ The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of $4\, m$ along $y-$ axis is ............... $\mathrm{J}$
Underline the correct alternative :
$(a)$ When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases/decreases/remains unaltered.
$(b)$ Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.
$(c)$ The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/total energy of the system of two bodies.
How much work does a pulling force of $40\, N$ do on the $20\, kg$ box in pulling it $8\, m$ across the smooth floor at a constant speed. The pulling force is directed at $60^o$ above the horizontal .............. $\mathrm{J}$
