A mass of is suspended by a thread. It is–
(i) lifted up with an acceleration
(ii) lowered with an acceleration

A space-ship travelling in the interstellar medium is picking up dust at a rate , where is a positive constant, is the instantaneous velocity and is the total mass of the space-ship at any instant. The instantaneous acceleration of the space-ship is

A monkey is descending from the branch of a tree with constant acceleration. If the breaking strength is 75% of the weight of the monkey, the minimum acceleration with which monkey can slide down without breaking the branch is

Two particles of mass each are tied at the ends of a light string of length The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance from the centre (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes is

The string between blocks of mass and is massless and inextensible. The system is suspended by a massless spring as shown. If the string is cut find the magnitudes of accelerations of mass and (immediately after cutting)

A block of mass is placed on a horizontal frictionless plane. A second block of mass is placed on it and is connected to a spring of spring constant the two blocks are pulled by distance . Block oscillates without slipping. What is the maximum value of frictional force between the two blocks?

Three identical blocks of masses are drawn by a force on a frictionless surface, then what is the tension (in ) in the string between the blocks and ?

A particle of mass is subjected to a force with . What will be its initial acceleration if it is released from a point away from the origin?

A machine gun fires a bullet of mass 40 g with a velocity 1200 . The man holding it can exert a maximum force of 144 N on the gun. How many bullets can he fire per second at the most?

A rocket with a lift-off mass is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of . Then the initial thrust of the blast is nearly –

A light spring balance hangs from the hook of the other light spring balance and a block of mass hangs from the former one. Then the true statement about the scale reading is –
