When a rod moves at a relativistic speed $v$, its mass:
→A Kundt's tube apparatus has a copper rod of length 1.0m clamped at 25cm from one of the ends. The tube contains air in which the speed of sound is 340m/s. The powder collects in heaps separated by a distance of 5.0cm. Find the speed of sound waves in copper.
Figure (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. (b) is stretched by the same force F.
What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases?

A cricket fielder can throw the cricket ball with a speed $V_0$. If he throws the ball while running with speed u at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal, find
→- The effective angle to the horizontal at which the ball is projected in air as seen by a spectator.
- What will be time of flight?
- What is the distance (horizontal range) from the point of projection at which the ball will land?
- Find $\theta$ at which he should throw the ball that would maximise the horizontal range as found in (iii).
- how does $\theta$ for maximum range change if $\text{u}>\upsilon_\text{o},\text{u}=\upsilon_\text{o},\text{ u}<\upsilon_\text{o}$?
- How does $\theta$ in (v) compare with that for u = 0 (i.e.45° )?

Which one among a solid, liquid and gas of the same mass and at the same temperature has the greatest internal energy and which one has the least?
Suppose a charged particle moves with a velocity v near a wire carrying an electric current. A magnetic force, therefore, acts on it. If the same particle is seen from a frame moving with velocity v in the same direction, the charge will be found at rest. Will the magnetic force become zero in this frame? Will the magnetic field become zero in this frame?
