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.
$(a)$ Decreases
$(b)$ Kinetic energy
$(c)$ External force
$(d)$ Total linear momentum
$(a)$ A conservative force does a positive work on a body when it displaces the body in the direction of force. As a result, the body advances toward the centre of force. It decreases the separation between the two, thereby decreasing the potential energy of the body.
$(b)$ The work done against the direction of friction reduces the velocity of a body. Hence, there is a loss of kinetic energy of the body
$(c)$ Internal forces, irrespective of their direction, cannot produce any change in the total momentum of a body. Hence, the total momentum of a many- particle system is proportional to the external forces acting on the system
$(d)$ The total linear momentum always remains conserved whether it is an elastic collision or an inelastic collision.
Work done in time $t$ on a body of mass $m$ which is accelerated from rest to a speed $v$ in time $t_1$ as a function of time $t$ is given by
A particle moves in a straight line with retardation proportional to its displacement. Its loss of kinetic energy for any displacement $x$ is proportional to
A particle of mass $m$ is moving in a circular path of constant radius $r$ such that its centripetal acceleration $a_c$ is varying with time $t$ as, $a_c = k^2rt^2$, The power delivered to the particle by the forces acting on it is
Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are moving with same kinetic energy. If $P_1$ and $P_2$ are their respective momentum, the ratio $\frac{P_1}{P_2}$ is equal to
A ball after falling from a height of $10\, m$ strikes the roof of a lift which is descending down with a velocity of $1\, m/s$. The recoil velocity of the ball will be .............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$
