Two billiard balls of equal mass strike a rigid wall with same speed of (as shown) but at different angles. If the balls get reflected with the same speed, then the ratio of the magnitude of impulses imparted to ball and ball by the wall along direction is:


A block of mass slides along a floor while a force of magnitude is applied to it at an angle as shown in figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is . Then, the block's acceleration is given by : ( is acceleration due to gravity)

A ball of mass moving with a velocity along -axis, hits another ball of mass which is at rest. After the collision, the first ball comes to rest and the second one disintegrates into two equal pieces. One of the pieces starts moving along -axis at a speed of . The second piece starts moving at a speed of at an angle (degree) with respect to the -axis. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of (in degrees) to the nearest integer is _________.

Statement I: A cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of the radius of without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is . The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve
Statement II : If the road is banked at an angle of , cyclist can cross the curve of radius with the speed of without slipping. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

A modern grand-prix racing car of mass is travelling on a flat track in a circular arc of radius with a speed If the coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the track is then the magnitude of negative lift acting downwards on the car is:

Two blocks ( and ) are arranged on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is Then the maximum horizontal force that can be applied on the larger block so that the blocks move together is (Round off to the Nearest Integer) [Take as ]
