Numerical
A bob of mass $m$ , suspended by a string of length $l_{1}$ , is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane. At the highest point, it collides elastically with another bob of mass $m$ suspended by a string of length $l_{2}$ , which is initially at rest. Both the strings are massless and inextensible. If the second bob, after collision acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane, the ratio $\frac{l_1}{l_2}$ is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Velocity of first bob at highest point (when it just completes the circle) is
$v _ {1} = \sqrt {g \ell_ {1}}$
Since collision of first bob with second bob is elastic and both have equal mass, so first bob will stop and second will move with velocity of first such that this velocity is sufficient enough for second bob to just complete the circle of radius $\ell_{2}$ . So
$\begin{array}{r l} & {\sqrt {g \ell_ {1}} = \sqrt {5 g \ell_ {2}}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\frac {\ell_ {1}}{\ell_ {2}} = 5} \end{array}$
$v _ {1} = \sqrt {g \ell_ {1}}$
Since collision of first bob with second bob is elastic and both have equal mass, so first bob will stop and second will move with velocity of first such that this velocity is sufficient enough for second bob to just complete the circle of radius $\ell_{2}$ . So
$\begin{array}{r l} & {\sqrt {g \ell_ {1}} = \sqrt {5 g \ell_ {2}}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\frac {\ell_ {1}}{\ell_ {2}} = 5} \end{array}$

A particle of mass $0.2\mathrm{kg}$ is moving in one dimension under a force that delivers a constant power $0.5\mathrm{W}$ to the particle. If the initial speed (in $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ ) of the particle is zero, the speed (in $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ ) after 5 s is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
$\begin{array}{r l} & W = \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \\ & \Rightarrow P t = \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \\ & \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\frac {2 P t}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac {2 \times 0.5 \times 5}{0.2}} = 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} \end{array}$

A block of mass 0.18 kg is attached to a spring of force-constant 2 N/m. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.1. Initially the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of 0.06 m and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in m/s is V = N/10. Then N is
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:

$\frac {1}{2} m u ^ {2} = \mu m g \times 0.0 6 + \frac {1}{2} k x ^ {2}$
$\frac {1}{2} \times 0.1 8 u ^ {2} = 0.1 \times 0.1 8 \times 1 0 \times 0.0 6 + \frac {1}{2} \times 2 \times (0.0 6) ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow u = 0.4$
Or $0.4 = \frac{N}{10}$ (given) $\Rightarrow N = 4$ .
