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
$\frac{1}{2}m\frac{v}{{{t_1}}}\,{t^2}$
$m\frac{v}{{{t_1}}}\,{t^2}$
$\frac{1}{2}{\left( {\frac{{mv}}{{{t_1}}}} \right)^2}\,{t^2}$
$\frac{1}{2}m\frac{{{v^2}}}{{t_1^2}}\,{t^2}$
Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $1\, kg$ and $2\, kg$ are connected together by a spring and are resting on a horizontal surface. The blocks are pulled apart so as to strech the spring and then released. The ratio of $K.E.s$ of both the blocks is
A particle is moved from $(0, 0)$ to $(a, a)$ under a force $\vec F = (3\hat i + 4\hat j)$ from two paths. Path $1$ is $OP$ and path $2$ is $OQP$. Let $W_1$ and $W_2$ be the work done by this force in these two paths respectively. Then
Answer the following :
$(a)$ The casing of a rocket in flight burns up due to friction. At whose expense is the heat energy required for burning obtained? The rocket or the atmosphere?
$(b)$ Comets move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. The gravitational force on the comet due to the sun is not normal to the comet’s velocity in general. Yet the work done by the gravitational force over every complete orbit of the comet is zero. Why ?
$(c)$ An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth ?
$(d)$ In Figure $(i)$ the man walks $2\; m$ carrying a mass of $15\; kg$ on his hands. In Figure $(ii)$, he walks the same distance pulling the rope behind him. The rope goes over a pulley, and a mass of $15\; kg$ hangs at its other end. In which case is the work done greater ?
Consider two carts, of masses $m$ and $2m$ , at rest on an air track. If you push both the carts for $3\,s$ exerting equal force on each, the kinetic energy of the light cart is
Body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2 m$ at rest the collision is head on and elastic in nature. After the collision the fraction of energy lost by colliding body $A$ is
