A block of mass '' (as shown in figure) moving with kinetic energy compresses a spring through a distance when, its speed is halved. The value of spring constant of used spring will be for _____.




Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power
A bullet of mass having initial kinetic energy is shot inside a long swimming pool as shown in the figure. If it's kinetic energy reduces to within , the minimum length of the pool, the bullet has to travel so that it completely comes to rest is



An object of mass initially at rest on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving under the action of force . In the process of its linear motion, the angle (as shown in figure) between the direction of force and horizontal varies as , where is a constant and is the distance covered by the object from its initial position. The expression of kinetic energy of the object will be . The value of is ______.


Identify the correct statements from the following:

(B) Work done by gravitational force in lifting a bucket out of a well by a rope tied to the bucket is negative
(C) Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is positive
(D) Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity is zero
(E) Work done by the air resistance on an oscillating pendulum is negative
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

As per the given figure, a small ball slides down the quadrant of a circle and hits the other ball of equal mass which is initially at rest. Neglecting the effect of friction and assume the collision to be elastic, the velocity of ball after collision will be :
