A light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses m1 and m2 (vertically). If the acceleration of the system is g/8, then the ratio of the masses is

EASY
IMPORTANT

Speeds of two identical cars are u and 4u at a specific instant. The ratio of the respective distances in which the two cars are stopped from that instant is

EASY
IMPORTANT

If a body looses half of its velocity on penetrating 3 cm in a wooden block, then how much will it penetrate more before coming to rest?

EASY
IMPORTANT

The mass of a body measured by a physical balance in a lift at rest is found to be m. If the lift is going up with an acceleration a, its mass will be measured as

EASY
IMPORTANT

A gun of mass 10 kg fires 4 bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is 20 g and the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the gun is 300 m s-1. The force required to hold the gun while firing is

EASY
IMPORTANT

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A bullet is fired from a gun. The force on the bullet is given by, F=600-2×105t, where, F is in newton and t in second. The force on the bullet becomes zero as soon as it leaves the barrel. What is the average impulse imparted to the bullet?

EASY
IMPORTANT
