A block of mass $$m = 1\,kg$$ is moving with a constant acceleration $$a = 1\,m/{s^2}$$ on a rough horizontal plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and plane is $$\mu = 0.1.$$ The initial velocity of block is zero at $$t = 0.$$ The power delivered by the external agent at a time $$t = 2\,\sec$$ from the beginning is equal to (Take $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ )
A
$$1\,watt$$
B
$$2\,watt$$
C
$$3\,watt$$
D
$$4\,watt$$
Answer :
$$4\,watt$$
$$\eqalign{
& m = 1\,kg,a = 1\,m/{s^2},\mu = 0.1 \cr
& f = \mu mg = 0.1 \times 1 \times 10 = 1N \cr
& {F_{{\text{ext}}}} = ma + f \cr
& {F_{{\text{ext}}}} = 1 + 1 = 2N \cr
& v = u + at = 0 + 1 \times 2 = 2\,m/\sec . \cr
& \therefore P = {F_{{\text{ext}}}} \cdot v = 2 \times 2 = 4\,watt. \cr} $$

If stretch in a spring of force constant $$k$$ is tripled then the ratio of elastic potential energy in the two cases will be
A
$$9:1$$
B
$$1:6$$
C
$$3:1$$
D
$$1:3$$
Answer :
$$9:1$$
For a given spring, $$u = \frac{1}{2}k{x^2}$$
$$\therefore \frac{{{u_2}}}{{{u_1}}} = \frac{{\frac{1}{2}kx_2^2}}{{\frac{1}{2}kx_1^2}} = \frac{{{{\left( {3x} \right)}^2}}}{{{x^2}}} = 9:1$$

An athlete in the Olympic games covers a distance of $$100\,m$$ in $$10 \,s.$$ His kinetic energy can be estimated to be in the range-
A
$$200\,J-500\,J$$
B
$$2 \times {10^5}\,J - 3 \times {10^5}\,J$$
C
$$20,000\,J-50,000\,J$$
D
$$2,000\,J-5,000\,J$$
Answer :
$$2,000\,J-5,000\,J$$
The average speed of the athlete
$$v = \frac{{100}}{{10}} = 10\,m/s\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\therefore K.E. = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$$
If mass is 40 kg then, K.E. $$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times {\left( {10} \right)^2} = 2000\,J$$
If mass is 100 kg then, K.E. $$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times {\left( {10} \right)^2} = 5000\,J$$

This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
If two springs $${S_1}$$ and $${S_2}$$ of force constants $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2},$$ respectively, are stretched by the same force, it is found that more work is done on spring $${S_1}$$ than on spring $${S_2}.$$ STATEMENT 1 : If stretched by the same amount work done on $${S_1},$$ Work done on $${S_1}$$ is more than $${S_2}$$ STATEMENT 2 : $${k_1} < {k_2}$$
A
Statement $$1$$ is false, Statement $$2$$ is true.
B
Statement $$1$$ is true, Statement $$2$$ is false.
C
Statement $$1$$ is true, Statement $$2$$ is true, Statement $$2$$ is the correct explanation for Statement $$1$$
D
Statement $$1$$ is true, Statement $$2$$ is true, Statement $$2$$ is not the correct explanation for Statement $$1$$
Answer :
Statement $$1$$ is false, Statement $$2$$ is true.
When force is same
$$\eqalign{
& W = \frac{1}{2}k{x^2} \cr
& W = \frac{1}{2}k\frac{{{F^2}}}{{{k^2}}}\,\,\left[ {\because \,F = kx} \right] \cr
& \therefore W = \frac{{{F^2}}}{{2x}} \cr
& {\text{As}}\,\,{W_1} > {W_2} \cr
& \therefore {k_1} < {k_2} \cr} $$ When extension is same
$$\eqalign{
& W \propto k\,\,\left( {\because x{\text{ is same}}} \right) \cr
& \therefore {W_1} < {W_2} \cr} $$
Statement I is false and statement 2 is true.

A load hangs from a travelling crane, moving horizontally with velocity $$v.$$ If the load is not to swing more than $$4m$$ horizontally, when the crane is stopped suddenly, what is the maximum allowable speed of the crane?

An object of mass $$m$$ is projected vertically upwards with a speed of $${v_0}.$$ At the same moment another object of mass $$M,$$ which is initially above the projected one, is dropped from a height of $$h.$$ The two point like objects collide completely inelastically, and they stick to each other. Find kinetic energy (in $$J$$) of combined mass just before it hits the ground.
$$\left( {{\text{Given:}}\,m = 1\,kg,{v_0} = 20\,m/s,M = 3\,kg,h = 20\,m,g = 10\,m/{s^2}} \right)$$
A
$$550\,J$$
B
$$650\,J$$
C
$$450\,J$$
D
$$250\,J$$
Answer :
$$650\,J$$
Using relative velocity, time of flight before collision will be
$$t = \frac{{20}}{{20}} = 1$$
By $$COM$$ at the time of collision
$$\eqalign{
& 3 \times 10 - 1 \times 10 = 4 \times v \cr
& 2 \times 10 = 4 \times v;5 = v \cr
& v = 5\,m/s \cr} $$
For $$1$$ - $$D$$ motion
$$\eqalign{
& {v^2} = {u^2} + 2as = {5^2} + 2 \times 10 \times 15 = 25 + 300 = 325 \cr
& K = 650\,J \cr} $$

Two blocks of masses $$m$$ and $$M$$ are joined with an ideal spring of spring constant $$k$$ and kept on a rough surface as shown. The spring is initially unstretched and the coefficient of friction between the blocks and the horizontal surface is $$\mu .$$ What should be the maximum speed of the block of mass $$M$$ such that the smaller block does not move?
A
$$\mu g\sqrt {\frac{{Mm}}{{\left( {M + m} \right)k}}} $$
B
$$\mu g\sqrt {\frac{{\left( {M + m} \right)k}}{{Mm}}} $$
C
$$\mu g\sqrt {\frac{{\left( {2M + m} \right)m}}{{km}}} $$
For the smaller block to move $$k{x_0} = \mu mg$$ and from work energy theorem
$$\eqalign{
& - \mu Mg{x_0} - \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 = - \frac{1}{2}Mv_0^2 \cr
& + \mu Mg\left( {\frac{{\mu mg}}{k}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}k{\left( {\frac{{\mu mg}}{k}} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{2}M{v^2} \cr
& v = \mu g\sqrt {\frac{{\left( {2M + m} \right)m}}{{kM}}} \cr} $$
