Two similar springs \(P\) and \(Q\) have spring constants \(k_P\) and \(k_Q\), such that \(k_P>k_Q\). They are stretched, first by the same amount (case a), then by the same force (case b). The work done by the springs \(W_P\) and \(W_Q\) are related as, in case (a) and case (b), respectively:
1. | \(W_P=W_Q;~W_P>W_Q\) |
2. | \(W_P=W_Q;~W_P=W_Q\) |
3. | \(W_P>W_Q;~W_P<W_Q\) |
4. | \(W_P<W_Q;~W_P<W_Q\) |
A particle of mass \(m\) is driven by a machine that delivers a constant power of \(k\) watts. If the particle starts from rest, the force on the particle at time \(t\) is:
1. \( \sqrt{\frac{m k}{2}} t^{-1 / 2} \)
2. \( \sqrt{m k} t^{-1 / 2} \)
3. \( \sqrt{2 m k} t^{-1 / 2} \)
4. \( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{m k} t^{-1 / 2}\)
Two particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) move with initial velocities \(u_1\) and \(u_2\) respectively. On collision, one of the particles gets excited to a higher level, after absorbing energy \(E\). If the final velocities of particles are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), then we must have:
1. | \(m_1^2u_1+m_2^2u_2-E = m_1^2v_1+m_2^2v_2\) |
2. | \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\) |
3. | \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2-E= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\) |
4. | \(\frac{1}{2}m_1^2u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2u_2^2+E = \frac{1}{2}m_1^2v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2v_2^2\) |
A uniform force of \((3 \hat{i} + \hat{j})\) newton acts on a particle of mass \(2\) kg. Hence the particle is displaced from position \((2 \hat{i} + \hat{k})\) meter to position \((4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - \hat{k})\) meter. The work done by the force on the particle is:
1. | \(6\) J | 2. | \(13\) J |
3. | \(15\) J | 4. | \(9\) J |
The potential energy of a system increases if work is done:
1. | by the system against a conservative force |
2. | by the system against a non-conservative force |
3. | upon the system by a conservative force |
4. | upon the system by a non-conservative force |
Force \(F\) on a particle moving in a straight line varies with distance \(d\) as shown in the figure. The work done on the particle during its displacement of \(12\) m is:

4. \(18\) J
A body of mass \(1\) kg is thrown upwards with a velocity \(20\) ms-1. It momentarily comes to rest after attaining a height of \(18\) m. How much energy is lost due to air friction?

An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity \(v\) and \(m\) is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to water?

4. \(\frac{1}{2}m^2v^2\)
A vertical spring with a force constant \(k\) is fixed on a table. A ball of mass \(m\) at a height \(h\) above the free upper end of the spring falls vertically on the spring so that the spring is compressed by a distance \(d\). The net work done in the process is:
1. \(mg(h+d)+\frac{1}{2}kd^2\)
2. \(mg(h+d)-\frac{1}{2}kd^2\)
3. \(mg(h-d)-\frac{1}{2}kd^2\)
4. \(mg(h-d)+\frac{1}{2}kd^2\)
