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

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

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? $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 {\mathrm{ms}}^{-2}\right)$

(a) 20 J                               (b) 30 J

(c) 40 J                                (d) 10 J

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. \(Mg/2k\)

The points of maximum and minimum attraction in the curve between potential energy (U) and distance (r) of a diatomic molecules are respectively -

(1) S and R

(2) T and S

(3) R and S

(4) S and T

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

(1) $K\left(l_2-l_1\right)$                             

(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 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
