A block of mass m starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi-circular track from a height h as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track, it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass m. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide, the maximum height that the block-putty

A particle of mass m comes down on a smooth inclined plane from point B at a height of h from rest. The magnitude of change in momentum of the particle between position A (just before arriving on horizontal surface) and C (assuming the angle of inclination of the plane as θ with respect to the horizontal) is

Three balls A, B and C of masses 2 kg, 4 kg and 8 kg, respectively, move along the same straight line and in the same direction, with velocities 4 m/s, 1 m/s and 3/4 m/s. If A collides with B and subsequently B collides with C, find the velocity of ball A and ball B after collision, taking the coefficient of restitution as unity.

Five balls are placed one after the other along a straight line as shown in the figure. Initially, all the balls are at rest. Then the second ball has been projected with speed v0 towards the third ball. Mark the correct statements. (Assume all collisions to be head-on and elastic.)

A ball of mass m is attached to a cord of length L, pivoted at point O, as shown in the figure. The ball is released from rest at point A, swings down and makes an inelastic collision with a block of mass 2m kept on a rough horizontal floor. The coefficient of restitution of collision is, e=23, and coefficient of friction between block and surface is μ. After the collision, the ball comes momentarily to rest at C when cord makes an angle of θ with the vertical and block moves a distance of, 3L2 on rough horizontal floor before stopping. The values of μ and θ are, respectively,

Two blocks A and B of masses m and 2m, respectively, are connected with the help of a spring having a spring constant, k as shown in the figure. Initially, both the blocks are moving with the same velocity, v on a smooth horizontal plane with the spring in its natural length. During their course of motion, block, B makes an inelastic collision with block, C of mass m which is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution for the collision is 12. The maximum compression in the spring is,

In the figure shown, the two identical balls of mass, M and radius, R each, are placed in contact with each other on the frictionless horizontal surface. The third ball of mass, M and radius R2, is coming down vertically and has a velocity =v0 when it simultaneously hits the two balls and itself comes to rest. Then, each of the two bigger balls will move after collision with a speed equal to
