A spherical rigid ball is released from rest and starts rolling down an inclined plane from height h=7 m, as shown in the figure. It hits a block at rest on the horizontal plane (assume elastic collision). If the mass of both the ball and the block is m and the ball is rolling without sliding, then the speed of the block after collision is close to

A certain stellar body has radius 50Rs and temperature 2Ts and is at a distance of 2×1010 A.U. from the earth. Here A.U. refers to the earth Sun distance and Rs and Ts refer to the Sun's radius and temperature respectively. Take both star and Sun to be ideal black bodies. The ratio of the power received on earth from the stellar body as compared to that received from the Sun is close to

As shown in the schematic below, a rod of uniform cross-sectional area A and length l is carrying a constant current i through it and voltage across the rod is measured using an ideal voltmeter. The rod is stretched by the application of a force F. Which of the following graphs would show the variation in the voltage across the rod as function of the strain, ε, when the strain is small. Neglect Joule heating.

Two identical coherent sound sources R and S with frequency f are 5 m apart. An observer standing equidistant from the sources and at a perpendicular distance of 12 m from the line RS hears maximum sound intensity. When he moves parallel to RS the sound intensity varies and is a minimum when he comes directly in front of one of the two sources. Then a possible value of f is close to (the speed of sound is 330 m s-1)
