Five balls are placed one after another along a straight line as shown in the figure. Initially, all the balls are at rest. Then the second ball is projected with speed towards the third ball. Mark the correct statement(s). (Assume all collisions to be head-on and elastic):
1. The total number of collisions in the process is 5.
2. The velocity of separation between the first and fifth ball after the last possible collision is
3. Finally, three balls remain stationary.
4. All of the above are correct.
A body of mass \(2\) kg moving with a velocity of \(3\) m/s collides with a body of mass of \(1\) kg moving with a velocity of \(4\) m/s in the opposite direction. If the collision is head-on and completely inelastic, then the wrong statement is:
1. | Both bodies move together with a velocity \((2/3)\) m/s. |
2. | The momentum of the system is \(2\) kg-m/s throughout. |
3. | The momentum of the system is \(10\) kg-m/s. |
4. | The loss of KE for the system is \((49/3)\) J. |
Which one of the following statements is true?
1. In an elastic collision of two bodies, the momentum, and energy of each body is conserved.
2. Total energy of a system is always conserved, no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present.
3. Work done in the motion of a body over a closed loop is zero for every force in nature.
4. Usually in an inelastic collision, the final kinetic energy is always less than the initial kinetic energy of the system.
A body is initially at rest. It undergoes a one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time \(t\) is proportional to,
1. \( t^{1 / 2} \)
2. \(t \)
3. \(t^{3 / 2} \)
4. \(t^2\)
A body is moving unidirectionally under the influence of a source of constant power. Its displacement in time \(t\) is proportional to,
1. \(t^{1/2}\)
2. \(t\)
3. \(t^{3/2}\)
4. \(t^{2}\)
A body constrained to move along the \({z}\)-axis of a coordinate system is subjected to constant force given by \(\vec{F}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) where \(\hat{i},\hat{j} \) and \(\hat{k}\) are unit vectors along the \({x}\)-axis, \({y}\)-axis and \({z}\)-axis of the system respectively. The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of \(4~\text m\) along the \({z}\)-axis will be:
1. \(15~\text J\)
2. \(14~\text J\)
3. \(13~\text J\)
4. \(12~\text J\)
A pump on the ground floor of a building can pump up water to fill a tank of volume in 15 min. If the tank is 40 m above the ground and the efficiency of the pump is 30%. Then electric power consumed by the pump is:
1. 44.4 kW
2. 44 kW
3. 40.7 kW
4. 45 kW
A body of mass 2 kg initially at rest moves under the action of an applied horizontal force of 7 N on a table with a coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.1. The work done by the applied force in 10 s is:
1. 882 J
2. 635 J
3. 247 J
4. 120 J
Which one of the following statement is wrong?
1. | When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body decreases. |
2. | Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic energy. |
3. | The rate of change of the total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the sum of the internal forces on the system. |
4. | In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the total linear momentum of the system of two bodies does not change after the collision. |
