A $1\,kg$ mass is attached to a spring of force constant $600\,N / m$ and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with other end of the spring tied to wall as shown in figure. A second mass of $0.5\,kg$ slides along the surface towards the first at $3\,m / s$. If the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision, then find amplitude and time period of oscillation of combined mass.
  • A$5\,cm , \frac{\pi}{10}\, s$
  • B$5\, cm , \frac{\pi}{5}\,s$
  • C$4\,cm , \frac{2 \pi}{5}\,s$
  • D$4\,cm , \pi / 3\,s$

    Column $I$ describe some situations in which a small object moves. Column $II$ describes some characteristics of these motions. Match the situation in Column $I$ with the characteristics in Column $II$ and indicate your answer by darkening appropriate bubbles in the $4 \times 4$ matrix given in the $ORS$.
    Column $I$ Column $II$
    $(A)$ The object moves on the $\mathrm{x}$-axis under a conservative force in such a way that its "speed" and "position" satisfy $v=c_1 \sqrt{c_2-x^2}$, where $\mathrm{c}_1$ and $\mathrm{c}_2$ are positive constants. $(p)$ The object executes a simple harmonic motion.
    $(B)$ The object moves on the $\mathrm{x}$-axis in such a way that its velocity and its displacement from the origin satisfy $\mathrm{v}=-\mathrm{kx}$, where $\mathrm{k}$ is a positive constant. $(q)$ The object does not change its direction.
    $(C)$ The object is attached to one end of a massless spring of a given spring constant. The other end of the spring is attached to the ceiling of an elevator. Initially everything is at rest. The elevator starts going upwards with a constant acceleration a. The motion of the object is observed from the elevator during the period it maintains this acceleration. $(r)$ The kinetic energy of the object keeps on decreasing.
    $(D)$ The object is projected from the earth's surface vertically upwards with a speed $2 \sqrt{\mathrm{GM}_e / R_e}$, where, $M_e$ is the mass of the earth and $R_e$ is the radius of the earth. Neglect forces from objects other than the earth. $(s)$ The object can change its direction only once.
