Work, Energy and Power · Question 21

A block of mass 1 kg, moving along x with speed vi = 10 m/s enters a rough region ranging from x = 0.1 m to x = 1.9 m. The retarding force acting on the block in this range is Fr = -kx, with k = 10 N/m. Then the final speed of the block as it crosses the rough region is:

1. 4 m/s
2. 10 m/s
3. 8 m/s
4. 6 m/s

A body of mass ‘m’ connected to a massless and unstretchable string goes in vertical circle of radius ‘R’ under gravity g. The other end of the string is fixed at the center of circle. If velocity at top of circular path is n gR, where, n 1, then ratio of kinetic energy of the body at bottom to that at top of the circle is :

1. n2+4n2
2. n+4n
3. n2n2+4
4. nn+4

As shown below, bob A of a pendulum having massless string of length 'R' is released from 60 to the vertical. It hits another bob B of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob A after the collision will be (take g as acceleration due to gravity.) [figure]

1. 43 Rg
2. 13 Rg
3. Rg
4. 23 Rg

A bead of mass 'm' slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius 'R' as shown in figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring (k) attached to the bottom of the hoop. The equilibrium length of the spring is 'R'. If the bead is released from top of the hoop with (negligible) zero initial speed, velocity of bead, when the length of spring becomes 'R', would be (spring constant is 'k', g is acceleration due to gravity) [figure]

1. 2Rg + kR2m
2. 3Rg + kR2m
3. 2Rg + 4kR2m
4. 2 gR + kR2m

1. A is false but R is true
2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
3. A is true but R is false
4. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

A body of mass 4 kg is placed on a plane at a point P having coordinates (3, 4) m. Under the action of force F = (2 i + 3 j) N, it moves to a new point Q having coordinates (6, 10) m in 4 sec. The average power and instantaneous power at the end of 4 sec are in the ratio of :

1. 4 : 3
2. 13 : 6
3. 1 : 2
4. 6 : 13
