Consider a car moving on a straight road with a speed of 100m/s .The distance at which car can be stopped is [µk = 0.5]
-
Solution
v2 - u2 = 2as or 02 - u2(-µkg) s
-1002 = 2 × -1⁄2 × 10 × s
s = 1000 m
A block is kept on a friction less inclined surface with angle of inclination ‘α’ . The incline is given an acceleration ‘a’ to keep the block stationary. Then a is equal to

A particle of mass 0.3 kg subject to a force F =– kx with k =15 N/m . What will be its in itial acceleration if it is released from a point 20 cm away from the origin ?
-
Solution
Mass (m) = 0.3 kg ⇒ F = m.a= –15 x
a =- 15⁄0.3x=-150⁄3x=50x
a =– 50 × 0.2 = 10 m/s2
The upper half of an inclined plane with inclination φ is perfectly smooth while the lower half is rough. A body starting from rest at the top will again come to rest at the bottom if the coefficient of friction for the lower half is given by
-
Solution
Acceleration of block while sliding down upper half =g sin φ;
retardation of block while sliding down lower half =–(g sin φ-μ g cos φ)
For the block to come to rest at the bottom, acceleration in I half = retardation in II half.
g sin φ=- (g sin φ -µ g cos φ)
⇒µ = 2 tan φ
Alternative method :According to work-energy theorem, W = ΔK = 0
(Since initial and final speeds are zero)
∴ Work done by friction + Work done by gravity= 0
i.e., -(µ mg cos φ)ι⁄2 + mg ι sin φ = 0
or µ⁄2cos φ=sin φ or µ = 2 tan φ
A smooth block is released at rest on a 45° incline and then slides a distance ‘d’. The time taken to slide is ‘n’ times as much to slide on rough incline than on a smooth incline.The coefficient of friction is

Solution
In the given figure, the pulley is assumed mass less and friction less. If the friction force on the object of mass m is f,then its acceleration in terms of the force F will be equal to

Solution
A ball mass m falls vertically to the ground from a height h1 and rebounds to a height h2. The change in momentum of the ball of striking the ground is

Solution
An open topped rail road car of mass M has an initial velocity v0 along a straight horizontal friction less track. It suddenly starts raising at time t= 0. The raindrops fall vertically with velocity u and add a mass m kg/sec of water. The velocity of car after t second will be (assuming that it is not completely filled with water)
-
Solution
The rain drops falling vertically with velocity u do not affect the momentum along the horizontal track. A vector has no component in a perpendicular direction Rain drops add to the mass of the car
Mass added in t sec = (mt) kg
Momentum is conserved along horizontal track.
Initial mass of car = M
Initial velocity of car = v0
Final velocity of (car + water) = v
Mass of(car + water) after time t = (M + mt)
∴ final momentum = initial momentum
(M + mt)v = Mv0
∴\(v=\frac{Mv_{0}}{(M+mt)}\)
Block A of weight 100 kg rests on a block B and is tied with horizontal string to the wall at C. Block B is of 200 kg. The coefficient of friction between A and Bis 0.25 and that between B and surface is 1⁄3. The horizontal force F necessary to move the block B should be (g =10 m/s2)

A ball of mass 400 gm is dropped from a height of 5 m. A boy on the ground hits the ball vertically upwards with a bat with an average force of 100 newton so that it attains a vertical height of 20 m. The time for which the ball remains in contact with the bat is (g = 10 m/s2)
