A block of mass \(10\) kg, moving in the \(x\text-\)direction with a constant speed of \(10\) ms^-1, is subjected to a retarding force \(F=0.1x\) J/m during its travel from \(x =20\) m to \(30\) m. Its final kinetic energy will be:

A particle of mass m is driven by a machine that delivers a constant power of k watts. If the particle starts from rest the force on the particle at time t is:

Two particles of masses m₁,m₂ move with initial velocities u₁ and u₂. On collision, one of the particles get excited to higher level, after absorbing energy $\epsilon$. If final velocities of particles be v₁ and v₂, then we must have

A ball is thrown vertically downwards from a height of 20 m with an initial velocity v_o. It collides with the ground, loses 50% of its energy in a collision and rebounds to the same height. The initial velocity v_o is: (Take g = 10 ms^-2)

1. 14 ms^-1
2. 20 ms^-1
3. 28 ms^-1
4. 10 ms^-1

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:

(2)3v/4
 

(3)3v/√2
 

(4)√3v/2
