The force acting on a body moving along $x-$ axis varies with the position of the particle as shown in the figure. The body is in stable equilibrium at
$x = x_1$
$x = x_2$
both $x_1$ and $x_2$
neither $x_1$ nor $x_2$
A bag of sand of mass $M$ is suspended by a string. A bullet of mass $m$ is fired at it with velocity $v$ and gets embedded into it. The loss of kinetic energy in this process is
Work done by the frictional force is
A neutron travelling with a velocity $v$ and $K.E.$ $E $ collides perfectly elastically head on with the nucleus of an atom of mass number $A$ at rest. The fraction of total energy retained by neutron is
A uniform flexible chain of mass $m$ and length $2l$ hangs in equilibrium over a smooth horizontal pin of negligible diameter. One end of the chain is given a small vertical displacement so that the chain slips over the pin. The speed of chain when it leaves pin is
$A$ ball is dropped from $a$ height $h$. As it bounces off the floor, its speed is $80$ percent of what it was just before it hit the floor. The ball will then rise to $a$ height of most nearly .............. $\mathrm{h}$
