  • A

    $2 \sin \phi$

  • B

    $2 \cos \phi$

  • C

    $2 \tan \phi$

  • D

A ring of mass $m$ can freely slide along the massless curved rod as shown. At the lower most point, the curved path becomes vertical. If whole system is released from rest, velocity of ring $(v) $ at lowermost point just before touching the block $M$ (all surfaces are smooth) is

A bullet of mass $m$ and speed $v$ hits a pendulum bob of mass $M$ at time $t_1$, and passes completelythrough the bob. The bullet emerges at time $t_2$ with a speed of $v/2$. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length $l$ and negligible mass. After the collision, the bob can barely swing through a complete vertical circle.At time $t_3$, the bob reaches the highest position.What quantities are conserved in this process?

A trolley of mass $200\; kg$ moves with a uniform speed of $36\; km / h$ on a frictionless track. A child of mass $20\; kg$ runs on the trolley from one end to the other ( $10\; m$ away) with a speed of $4 \;m s ^{-1}$ relative to the trolley in a direction opposite to the its motion, and Jumps out of the trolley. What is the final speed of the trolley ? How much has the trolley moved from the time the child begins to run?
