Question 2: A particle of mass m moving with velocity u makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass m. They are in contact for a very brief time T. The force of interaction increases from zero to \( F_0 \) linearly in time \( T/2 \), and decreases linearly to zero in a further time \( T/2 \). The magnitude of \( F_0 \) is:
(a) \( \frac{mu}{T} \)
(b) \( \frac{2mu}{T} \)
(c) \( \frac{mu}{2T} \)
(d) \( \frac{4mu}{T} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \frac{2mu}{T} \)

Explanation:
1. Equal masses in an elastic head-on collision exchange velocities, so the target gets momentum \( mu \).
2. The impulse is the area of the triangle in the force-time graph: \( \frac12F_0T \).
3. \( \frac12F_0T=mu \), so \( F_0=\frac{2mu}{T} \).

Question 3: A particle strikes a horizontal frictionless floor with a speed u at an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical and rebounds with a speed v at an angle \( \phi \) with the vertical. The coefficient of restitution between the particle and the floor is e. The magnitude of v is:
(a) \( eu \)
(b) \( (1-e)u \)
(c) \( u\sqrt{\sin^2\theta+e^2\cos^2\theta} \)
(d) \( u\sqrt{e^2\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( u\sqrt{\sin^2\theta+e^2\cos^2\theta} \)

Explanation:
1. The floor is frictionless, so the horizontal component is unchanged: \( v_x=u\sin\theta \).
2. The vertical component becomes e times the original: \( v_y=eu\cos\theta \).
3. \( v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=u\sqrt{\sin^2\theta+e^2\cos^2\theta} \).

Question 4: Three particles A, B and C of equal mass move with equal speed v along the medians of an equilateral triangle towards its centroid O. After they collide, A comes to rest and B retraces its path with speed v. The velocity of C is then:
(a) v in the direction \( \overrightarrow{OA} \)
(b) 2v in the direction \( \overrightarrow{OA} \)
(c) 2v in the direction \( \overrightarrow{OB} \)
(d) v in the direction \( \overrightarrow{BO} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) v in the direction \( \overrightarrow{BO} \)

Explanation:
1. Initially the three momenta have zero resultant, so the total momentum afterwards is also zero.
2. Retracing means B now moves from O towards B with velocity v along \( \overrightarrow{OB} \). A is at rest.
3. So \( m\vec v_C=-m\vec v_B \): C moves with speed v along \( \overrightarrow{BO} \).

Question 5: A body is fired from a point P on a smooth circular wall, strikes the wall at Q and rebounds to the point S diametrically opposite to P. The line PQ makes \( 45^\circ \) with the diameter PS. Then:
(a) The coefficient of restitution is 1
(b) The coefficient of restitution is zero
(c) Kinetic energy is not conserved
(d) The coefficient of restitution is \( \frac{1}{\sqrt3} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) The coefficient of restitution is 1

Explanation:
1. The angle in a semicircle is a right angle, so \( \angle PQS=90^\circ \) and QS makes \( 45^\circ \) with PS too; Q is at the top of the circle and the normal at Q is vertical.
2. The incident ray PQ and the reflected ray QS make \( 45^\circ \) with the normal on either side: the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence and the speed is unchanged.
3. For the normal component to be reversed with equal magnitude, \( e=1 \), and the collision is perfectly elastic.

Question 6: Two particles of masses m and 2m start moving from the origin with the same constant speed along the x-axis and the y-axis respectively. The centre of mass of the system of particles moves along the line:
(a) \( 3y=x \)
(b) \( y=2x \)
(c) \( y=3x \)
(d) \( y=\frac{2x}{3} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( y=2x \)

Explanation:
1. Velocity of the centre of mass \( =\frac{m(v\hat i)+2m(v\hat j)}{3m}=\frac v3(\hat i+2\hat j) \).
2. The centre of mass starts at the origin and moves along the direction \( \hat i+2\hat j \).
3. So its path is \( y=2x \).

Question 7: A smooth sphere is moving on a horizontal surface with velocity vector \( 2\hat i+2\hat j \) immediately before it hits a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to the \( \hat j \) vector and the coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is \( e=\frac12 \). The velocity vector of the sphere after it hits the wall is:
(a) \( \hat i-\hat j \)
(b) \( -\hat i-\hat j \)
(c) \( -\hat i+2\hat j \)
(d) \( 2\hat i-\hat j \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( -\hat i+2\hat j \)

Explanation:
1. The wall is parallel to \( \hat j \), so the normal to the wall is along \( \hat i \).
2. The \( \hat i \) component reverses and is multiplied by e: \( 2\to-2\times\frac12=-1 \).
3. The \( \hat j \) component is unchanged (smooth wall): 2. So the velocity is \( -\hat i+2\hat j \).

Question 8: A ball impinges directly on another ball at rest and is itself brought to rest by the impact. If two-thirds of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision, the coefficient of restitution is:
(a) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt2} \)
(b) \( \frac12 \)
(c) Zero
(d) \( \frac13 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \frac13 \)

Explanation:
1. Let the first ball (mass \( m_1 \)) have speed u and the second (mass \( m_2 \)) end with speed \( v_2 \). Momentum: \( m_1u=m_2v_2 \). Restitution: \( e=\frac{v_2}{u} \).
2. Final kinetic energy \( =\frac12m_2v_2^2=\frac12(m_1u)v_2 \). Ratio to initial \( =\frac{m_1uv_2}{m_1u^2}=\frac{v_2}{u}=e \).
3. One-third of the energy remains, so \( e=\frac13 \).

Question 9: A small block slides from rest down a frictionless incline of angle \( 60^\circ \) and height 3 m and strikes at B a second incline of angle \( 30^\circ \). The collision with the second incline is completely elastic. Take g = 10 m/s². The vertical (upward) component of the velocity of the block at B immediately after it strikes the second incline is:
(a) 0
(b) \( \sqrt{30} \) m/s
(c) \( \sqrt{15} \) m/s
(d) \( -\sqrt{15} \) m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 0

Explanation:
1. Speed before the strike \( =\sqrt{60} \) m/s, along the \( 60^\circ \) incline. The angle between this direction and the second incline is \( 30^\circ \).
2. Component along the second incline \( =\sqrt{45} \) (down the \( 30^\circ \) slope); perpendicular component \( \sqrt{15} \) reverses to point away from the incline.
3. Vertical component \( =-\sqrt{45}\sin30^\circ+\sqrt{15}\cos30^\circ=-\frac{\sqrt{45}}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{45}}{2}=0 \).

Question 10: A railway flat car has an artillery gun installed on it. The combined system has a mass M and moves with a velocity V. The barrel makes an angle \( \alpha \) with the horizontal. A shell of mass m leaves the barrel at a speed v relative to the barrel, in the direction of the flat car's motion. The speed of the flat car, so that it may stop after firing, is:
(a) \( \frac{mv}{M+m} \)
(b) \( \left(\frac mM\right)v\cos\alpha \)
(c) \( \left(\frac{Mv}{M+m}\right)\cos\alpha \)
(d) \( (M+m)v\cos\alpha \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \left(\frac mM\right)v\cos\alpha \)

Explanation:
1. Horizontal momentum is conserved. The car is to be at rest after firing, so the shell's speed relative to the ground equals its speed relative to the barrel.
2. Horizontal component of the shell's velocity \( =v\cos\alpha \).
3. \( MV=m\,v\cos\alpha \), so \( V=\frac mMv\cos\alpha \).

Question 11: A cannon shell is fired to hit a target at a horizontal distance R. However, it breaks into two equal parts at its highest point. One part (A) returns to the cannon along its original path. Which statements are correct? (I) The other part will fall at a distance R beyond the target. (II) The other part will fall at a distance 3R beyond the target. (III) The other part will hit the target. (IV) The other part will have nine times the kinetic energy of A.
(a) II and IV only
(b) III only
(c) I and IV only
(d) I and III only
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) I and IV only

Explanation:
1. At the top the shell moves horizontally with speed u. Part A retraces its path, so its velocity is \( -u \).
2. Momentum conservation: \( 2mu=m(-u)+mv_B \), so \( v_B=3u \).
3. B has three times the speed, so nine times the kinetic energy (IV true). Its horizontal travel after the top is 3 times \( \frac R2 \), so it lands \( \frac R2+\frac{3R}{2}=2R \) from the cannon, i.e. a distance R beyond the target (I true; II and III false).

Question 12: After a totally inelastic collision, two objects of the same mass and the same initial speeds are found to move together at half of their initial speed. The angle between the initial velocities of the objects is:
(a) \( 60^\circ \)
(b) \( 150^\circ \)
(c) \( 45^\circ \)
(d) \( 120^\circ \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 120^\circ \)

Explanation:
1. Let each have mass m and speed v with angle \( \theta \) between the velocities. The vector sum has magnitude \( 2mv\cos\frac\theta2 \).
2. Common velocity \( =\frac{2mv\cos(\theta/2)}{2m}=v\cos\frac\theta2=\frac v2 \).
3. \( \cos\frac\theta2=\frac12 \), so \( \theta=120^\circ \).

Question 13: A block of mass m is pushed with a velocity u towards a movable wedge of mass \( \eta m \) and height h. All surfaces are smooth. The minimum value of u for which the block will reach the top of the wedge is:
(a) \( \sqrt{2gh\left(1+\frac1\eta\right)} \)
(b) \( \sqrt{2gh} \)
(c) \( \eta\sqrt{2gh} \)
(d) \( \sqrt{2gh\left(1-\frac1\eta\right)} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \sqrt{2gh\left(1+\frac1\eta\right)} \)

Explanation:
1. At the minimum speed the block just reaches the top, moving with the wedge: common horizontal velocity V. Momentum: \( mu=(m+\eta m)V \).
2. Energy: \( \frac12mu^2=\frac12(m+\eta m)V^2+mgh \).
3. \( u^2\left(1-\frac{1}{1+\eta}\right)=2gh\Rightarrow u^2\frac{\eta}{1+\eta}=2gh \), so \( u=\sqrt{2gh\left(1+\frac1\eta\right)} \).

Question 15: Consider two statements. I: The linear momentum of a system of particles is zero. II: The kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero. Then:
(a) I implies II and II implies I
(b) I does not imply II and II does not imply I
(c) I does not imply II, but II implies I
(d) I implies II but II does not imply I
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) I does not imply II, but II implies I

Explanation:
1. If the kinetic energy is zero, every particle must be at rest, so the momentum is zero: II implies I.
2. If the total momentum is zero, the particles may still move in opposite directions (as after an explosion), giving a non-zero kinetic energy.
3. So I does not imply II.

Question 16: A mass m moving with a velocity v collides inelastically with another identical mass at rest. After the collision the first mass moves with velocity \( \frac{v}{\sqrt3} \) in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. The speed of the second mass after the collision is:
(a) \( \frac{v}{\sqrt3} \)
(b) \( \sqrt3v \)
(c) v
(d) \( \frac{2v}{\sqrt3} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \frac{2v}{\sqrt3} \)

Explanation:
1. Momentum along the original direction: \( mv=mv_x \), so \( v_x=v \).
2. Perpendicular direction: \( 0=m\frac{v}{\sqrt3}-mv_y \), so \( v_y=\frac{v}{\sqrt3} \) (in the opposite sense to the first mass).
3. Speed \( =\sqrt{v^2+\frac{v^2}{3}}=\frac{2v}{\sqrt3} \).

Question 18: A circular disc of radius R is removed from a bigger circular disc of radius 2R such that the circumferences of the discs coincide. The centre of mass of the new (remaining) disc is at a distance \( \alpha R \) from the centre of the bigger disc. The value of \( \alpha \) is:
(a) \( \frac12 \)
(b) \( \frac13 \)
(c) \( \frac16 \)
(d) \( \frac14 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \frac13 \)

Explanation:
1. Masses are proportional to areas: whole disc \( 4\pi R^2\sigma \), removed disc \( \pi R^2\sigma \), remaining \( 3\pi R^2\sigma \).
2. The removed disc's centre is at distance R from the centre of the big disc.
3. \( x_{cm}=\frac{4(0)-1(R)}{3}=-\frac R3 \): the distance is \( \frac R3 \), so \( \alpha=\frac13 \).

Question 19: A particle of mass m moving in the x direction with speed 2v is hit by a particle of mass 2m moving in the y direction with speed v. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, the percentage loss in the energy during the collision is close to:
(a) 44%
(b) 50%
(c) 56%
(d) 62%
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 56%

Explanation:
1. Momentum: \( p_x=2mv \), \( p_y=2mv \), total mass \( 3m \), so \( V=\frac{2\sqrt2mv}{3m}=\frac{2\sqrt2}{3}v \).
2. Initial energy \( =\frac12m(4v^2)+\frac12(2m)v^2=3mv^2 \). Final energy \( =\frac12(3m)\frac{8v^2}{9}=\frac43mv^2 \).
3. Fractional loss \( =1-\frac49=\frac59\approx56\% \).

Question 20: A ball moving with velocity 2 m/s towards a heavy wall hits the wall, which is moving towards the ball with a speed of 1 m/s. The collision is elastic and head-on. The speed of the ball (in m/s) immediately after the collision is:
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 4

Explanation:
1. In the frame of the heavy wall the ball approaches at \( 2+1=3 \) m/s.
2. An elastic collision with a heavy wall reverses this relative velocity, so the ball leaves at 3 m/s relative to the wall.
3. The wall moves at 1 m/s towards the ball's original side, so relative to the ground the ball moves at \( 3+1=4 \) m/s.

Question 23: Two blocks A and B of masses 2 kg and 3 kg respectively are connected by a spring of spring constant 10.8 N/m and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block A is given an initial velocity of 0.15 m/s towards B (the spring is at its natural length). The maximum compression in the spring, in cm, is:
(a) 3
(b) 10
(c) 5
(d) 15
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 5

Explanation:
1. At maximum compression the blocks move together: \( V=\frac{2\times0.15}{5}=0.06 \) m/s.
2. Energy: \( \frac12kx^2=\frac12(2)(0.15)^2-\frac12(5)(0.06)^2=0.0225-0.009=0.0135 \) J.
3. \( x^2=\frac{0.027}{10.8}=0.0025 \), so \( x=0.05 \) m \( =5 \) cm.
