A particle of mass 2m is projected at an angle of 45° with horizontal with a velocity of 202 m s-1. After 1 s explosion takes place and the particle is broken into two equal pieces. As a result of the explosion, one part comes to rest. The maximum height attained by the other part is (Take g=10 m s-2)

A particle of mass 4 m is projected from the ground at some angle with horizontal. Its horizontal range is R . At the highest point of its path it breaks into two pieces of masses m and 3 m, respectively, such that the smaller mass comes to rest. The larger mass finally falls at a distance x from the point of projection, where x is equal to

A block of mass M is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass 2 M as shown in figure. The block and the man are resting on a rough wedge of mass M. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts walking towards right while holding the rope in his hands. Pulley is massless and frictionless. Find the displacement of the wedge when the block meets the pulley. Assume wedge is sufficiently long so that man does not fall down.

A car of mass m is initially at rest on the boat of mass M tied to the wall of dock through a massless, inextensible string. The car accelerates from rest to velocity v0 in times t0. At t=t0 the car applies brake and comes to rest relative to the boat in negligible time. Neglect friction between the boat and water; the time ' t ' at which boat will strike the wall is

Two men A and B are standing on a plank. B is at the middle of the plank and A is at the left end of the plank. The system is initially at rest and masses are as shown in the figure. A and B start moving such that the position of B remains fixed with respect to ground, then A meets B. Then, the point where A meets B is located at,

A cracker is thrown into air with a velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 45° with the vertical. When it is at a height of 0.5 m from the ground, it explodes into a number of pieces which follow different parabolic paths. What is the velocity of centre of mass, when it is at a height of 1 m from the ground? g=10 m/s2
