Three balls, $A, B$ and $C$ are released and all reach the point $X$ (shown in the figure). Balls $A$ and $B$ are released from two identical structures, one kept on the ground and the other at height $h$, from the ground as shown in the figure. They take time $t_A$ and $t_B$ respectively to reach $X$ (time starts after they leave the end of the horizontal portion of the structure). The ball $C$ is released from a point at height $h$, vertically above $X$ and reaches $X$ in time $t_C$. Choose the correct option.
$t_C < t_A < t_C$
$t_C=t_A=t_C$
$t_C=t_A < t_C$
$t_B < t_A=t_C$
A particle of mass $m$ travelling along $x-$ axis with speed $v_0$ shoots out $1/3^{rd}$ of its mass with a speed $2v_0$ along $y-$ axis. The velocity of remaining piece is
A light spring of length $20\, cm$ and force constant $2\, kg/cm$ is placed vertically on a table. A small block of mass $1\, kg$. falls on it. The length $h$ from the surface of the table at which the ball will have the maximum velocity is ............... $\mathrm{cm}$
A bullet of mass m moving with velocity $v$ strikes a suspended wooden block of mass $M$. If the block rises to a height $h$, the initial velocity of the block will be
A balloon filled with helium rises against gravity increasing its potential energy. The speed of the balloon also increases as it rises. How do you reconcile this with the law of conservation of mechanical energy ? You can neglect viscous drag of air and assume that density of air is constant.
A bob of mass $\mathrm{M}$ is suspended by a massless string of length $\mathrm{L}$. The horizontal velocity $\mathrm{V}$ at position $\mathrm{A}$ is just sufficient to make it reach the point $B$. The angle $\theta$ at which the speed of the bob is half of that at $A$, satisfies Figure:
