Power supplied to a particle of mass $2\, kg$ varies with time as $P = \frac{{3{t^2}}}{2}$ $watt$ . Here, $t$ is in $seconds$ . If velocity of particle at $t = 0$ is $v = 0$, the velocity of particle at time $t = 2\, s$ will be ............ $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$

A basket and its contents have mass $M$. A monkey of mass $2M$ grabs the other end of the rope and very quickly (almost instantaneously) accelerates by pulling hard on the rope until he is moving with a constant speed of $v_{m/r} = 2ft/s$ measured relative to the rope. The monkey then continues climbing at this constant rate relative to the rope for $3$ seconds. How fast is the basket rising at the end of the $3$ seconds? Neglect the mass of the pulley and the rope. (given : $g = 32ft/s^2$)

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.

A body of mass $m$ is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed $v$ in a time $T$. The instantaneous power delivered to the body as a function of time is given by

State if each of the following statements is true or false. Give reasons for your answer.

$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two bodies, the momentum and energy of each body is conserved.

$(b)$ Total energy of a system is always conserved, no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present.

$(c)$ Work done in the motion of a body over a closed loop is zero for every force in nature.

$(d)$ In an inelastic collision, the final kinetic energy is always less than the initial kinetic energy of the system.
