Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of same mass undergo completely inelastic one dimensional collision. The body $A$ moves with velocity $v_1$ while body $B$ is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is $v_2$. The ratio $v_1: v_2$ is
- ✓
$2: 1$
- B
$4: 1$
- C
$1: 4$
- D
$1: 2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $2: 1$
a
Before collision $\Rightarrow$
$A$ $\rightarrow v_1$ ($B$)
rest
It undergoes completely inelastic collision
Using conservation of linear momentum
Initial momentum = Final momentum
$\Rightarrow m v_1=m v_2+m v_2$
$\Rightarrow m v_1=2 m v_2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{2}{1}$

Let the tension at point $A$ be $T_{A} .$ So, from Newton's second law
$T_{A}-m g=\frac{m v_{c}^{2}}{R}$
Energy at point $A=\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}$ $...(i)$
Energy at point $C$ is
$\frac{1}{2} m v_{c}^{2}+m g \times 2 R \ldots .$ $...(ii)$
Applying Newton's second law at point $C$
$T_{c}+m g=\frac{m v_{c}^{2}}{R}$
To complete the loop $T_{c} \geq 0$
So, $m g=\frac{m v_{c}^{2}}{R}$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{c}=\sqrt{g R}$ $...(ii)$
From Eqs. $(i)$ and $(ii)$ by conservation of energy
$\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{c}^{2}+2 m g R$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m g R+2 m g R \quad\left(\because v_{c}=\sqrt{g R}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{0}^{2}=g R+4 g R$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{0}=\sqrt{5 g R}$

A ball of mass $m$ is attached to a string whose other end is fixed. The system is free to rotate in vertical plane. When the ball swings, no work is done on the ball by the tension in the string. Which of the following statements is the correct explanation?
- ✓
Tension is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball.
- B
Tension is an internal force for the ball.
- C
Tension is an external force for the ball.
- D
Since the ball is swinging about the axis, total displacement is zero.
AnswerCorrect option: A. Tension is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball.
a
Tension acts radially inward and velocity is tangential so tension is always $\perp $ to the direction of motion of ball.

As shown a block of mass $\mathrm{M}$ is lying over a rough horizontal surface. Let $\mu$ be the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two surfaces in contact. The force of friction between the block and horizontal surface is given by$:$
$\mathrm{f}=\mu \mathrm{R}=\mu \mathrm{Mg} \quad(\because \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{Mg})$
To move the block without acceleration, the
force $(P)$ required will be just equal to the force of friction, i.e..
$P=f=\mu R$
If $\mathrm{d}$ is the distance moved, then work done is
gievn by$:$
