A car ' A ' of mass m is initially at rest on a plank of mass M tied to the identical plank ' C ' of same mass M through a massless inextensible string as shown in the figure. The car accelerates from rest to velocity v0 with respect to plank ' B ' in time t0sec. At time t=t0 the car applies brake and comes to rest relative to plank in negligible time. Neglect friction between planks and ground.

A frog sits on the end of a long board of length L=5 m. The board rests on a frictionless horizontal table. The frog wants to jump to the opposite end of the board. What is the minimum take-off speed (in m/s ), i.e., relative to ground that allows the frog to do the trick? The board and the frog have equal masses.

A massless spring of force constant 1000 N m-1 is compressed a distance of 20 cm between discs of 8 kg and 2 kg, spring is not attached to discs. The system is given an initial velocity 3 m s-1 perpendicular to the length of spring as shown in the figure. What is the ground frame velocity of 2 kg block in (m s-1) when spring regains its natural length?
