Free 238U nuclei kept in a train emit alpha particles. When the train is stationary and a uranium nucleus decays, a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particles and the recoiling nucleus becomes x, in t time after the decay. If a decay takes places, when the train is moving at a uniform speed v, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time t after the decay, as measured by the passenger will be:

$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above. What is the direction of the rod's angular momentum vector (calculated about its lower end)?

A ball of mass $0.2 \ kg$ rests on a vertical post of height $5 m$. A bullet of mass $0.01 \ kg$, traveling with a velocity $V / s$ in a horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After the collision, the ball and bullet travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of $20 \ m$ and the bullet at a distance of $100 \ m$ from the foot of the post. The initial velocity $V$ of the bullet is
