Two particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) move with initial velocities \(u_1\) and \(u_2\) respectively. On collision, one of the particles gets excited to a higher level, after absorbing energy \(E\). If the final velocities of particles are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), then we must have:
1. | \(m_1^2u_1+m_2^2u_2-E = m_1^2v_1+m_2^2v_2\) |
2. | \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\) |
3. | \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2-E= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\) |
4. | \(\frac{1}{2}m_1^2u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2u_2^2+E = \frac{1}{2}m_1^2v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2v_2^2\) |
On a frictionless surface, a block of mass \(M\) moving at speed \(v\) collides elastically with another block of the same mass \(M\) which is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block moves at an angle \(\theta\) to its initial direction and has a speed \(\frac{v}{3}\). The second block’s speed after the collision will be:
1. | \(\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}v\) | 2. | \(\frac{3}{4}v\) |
3. | \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v\) | 4. | \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}v\) |
A body of mass (\(4m\)) is lying in the x-y plane at rest. It suddenly explodes into three pieces. Two pieces, each of mass (\(m\)) move perpendicular to each other with equal speeds (\(u\)). The total kinetic energy generated due to explosion is:
1. | \(mu^2\) | 2. | \(1.5~mu^2\) |
3. | \(2~mu^2\) | 4. | \(3~mu^2\) |
A uniform force of \((3 \hat{i} + \hat{j})\) newton acts on a particle of mass \(2\) kg. Hence the particle is displaced from position \((2 \hat{i} + \hat{k})\) meter to position \((4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - \hat{k})\) meter. The work done by the force on the particle is:
1. | \(6\) J | 2. | \(13\) J |
3. | \(15\) J | 4. | \(9\) J |
The potential energy of a particle in a force field is \(U=\) where \(A\) and \(B\) are positive constants and \(r\) is the distance of the particle from the center of the field. For stable equilibrium, the distance of the particle is:
1. | \(\frac{B}{A}\) | 2. | \(\frac{B}{2A}\) |
3. | \(\frac{2A}{B}\) | 4. | \(\frac{A}{B}\) |
1. | \(B\). | same as that of
2. | \(B\). | opposite to that of
3. | \(\theta = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)\) to the positive \(x\)-axis. |
4. | \(\theta = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2} \right )\) to the positive \(x\)-axis. |
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 non-conservative force |
3. | upon the system by a conservative force |
4. | upon the system by a non-conservative force |
