K is the force constant of a spring. The work done in increasing its extension from $l_1$ to $l_2$ will be

2. $\frac{K}{2}\left(l_2+l_1\right)$

3. $K\left(l_2^2-l_1^2\right)$                           

4. $\frac{K}{2}\left(l_2^2-l_1^2\right)$

A block of mass \(M\) is attached to the lower end of a vertical spring. The spring is hung from the ceiling and has a force constant value of \(k.\) The mass is released from rest with the spring initially unstretched. The maximum extension produced along the length of the spring will be:
1. \(Mg/k\)
2. \(2Mg/k\)
3. \(4Mg/k\)
4. \(Mg/2k\)

A body of mass 1 kg is thrown upwards with a velocity $20 {\mathrm{ms}}^{-1}.$ It momentarily comes to rest after attaining a height of 18 m. How much energy is lost due to air friction? $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 {\mathrm{ms}}^{-2}\right)$

1. 20 J                               
2. 30 J
3. 40 J                               
4. 10 J

A particle of mass M starting from rest undergoes uniform acceleration. If the speed acquired in time T is v, the power delivered to the particle is 

1. $\frac{{\mathrm{Mv}}^2}{\mathrm{T}}$                                 

2. $\frac{1}{2}\frac{{\mathrm{Mv}}^2}{{\mathrm{T}}^2}$

3. $\frac{{\mathrm{Mv}}^2}{{\mathrm{T}}^2}$                                   

4. $\frac{1}{2}\frac{{\mathrm{Mv}}^2}{\mathrm{T}}$

Force F on a particle moving in a straight line varies with distance d as shown in the figure. The work done on the particle during its displacement of 12 m is

(a) 21 J                                                  (b) 26 J

(c) 13 J                                                   (d) 18 J

The potential energy of a system increases if work is done

(1) by the system against a conservative force 

(2) by the system against a nonconservative force

(3) upon the system by a conservative force

(4) upon the system by a nonconservative force

A uniform force of (3i + j) N acts on a particle of mass 2 kg. Hence the particle is displaced from position (2i+k) m to position (4i+3j-k) m. The work done by the force on the particle is-

1. 9J
 

2. 6J
 

3. 13J
 

4. 15J

On a frictionless surface, a block of mass M moving at speed v collides elastically with another block of same mass M which is initially at rest. After collision the first block moves at an angle θ to its initial direction and has a speed v/3. The second block's speed after the collision is:

1. 2√2v/3
 

2. 3v/4
 

3. 3v/√2
 

4. √3v/2
