A uniform circular disc of radius $50\, cm$ at rest is free to turn about an axis which is perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. It is subjected to a torque which produces a constant angular acceleration of $2.0\, rad \,s^{-2}$. Its net acceleration in $ms^{-2}$ at the end of $2.0\,s$  is approximately
A particle of mass $200 \,MeV / c ^{2}$ collides with a hydrogen atom at rest. Soon after the collision the particle comes to rest, and the atom recoils and goes to its first excited state. The initial kinetic energy of the particle (in $eV$ ) is $\frac{ N }{4} .$ The value of $N$ is :

The typical transfer characteristic of a transistor in $CE$ configuration is shown in figure. A load resistor of $2\,k\Omega$ is connected in the collector branch of the circuit used. The input resistance of the transistor is $0.50\,k \Omega$. The voltage gain of the transistor is.
A man of mass $m$ starts falling towards a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R.$ As he reaches near to the surface, he realizes that he will pass through a small hole in the planet. As he enters the hole, he sees that the planet is really made of two pieces a spherical shell of negligible thickness of mass $\frac{2M}{3}$ and a point  mass $\frac{M}{3}$ at the centre. Change in the force of gravity experienced by the man is
