A cricket ball of mass \(0.15~\text{kg}\) is thrown vertically up by a bowling machine so that it rises to a maximum height of \(20~\text{m}\) after leaving the machine. If the part pushing the ball applies a constant force \(F\) on the ball and moves horizontally a distance of \(0.2~\text{m}\) while launching the ball, the value of \(F\) (in N) is: (\(g = 10\) m/s2)

A block of mass \(1.9~\text{kg}\) is at rest at the edge of a table, of height \(1~\text{m}\). A bullet of mass \(0.1~\text{kg}\) collides with the block and sticks to it. If the velocity of the bullet is \(20\) m/s in the horizontal direction just before the collision then the kinetic energy just before the combined system strikes the floor, is: [Take \(g = 10\) m/s2 . Assume there is no rotational motion and loss of energy after the collision is negligible.]

Blocks with masses \(m,2m,4m\) and \(8m\) are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass \(m,\) moving with speed \(v\) along the same line (see figure) collides with the first stationary block of mass \(m\) in a perfectly inelastic collision. All subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass \(8m\) starts moving, the total energy loss is \(p\%\) of the original energy. The value of \(p\) is closest to:

In a collinear collision, a particle with an initial speed \(v_0\) strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is \(50\%\) greater than the original kinetic energy, the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles, after collision, is:
1. \(\frac{{v_0}}{4}\)
2. \(\sqrt{2}{v_0}\)
3. \(\frac{{v_0}}{2}\)

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A):

Body '\(P\)' having mass \(M\) moving with speed '\(u\)' has head-on collision elastically with another body '\(Q\)' having mass '\(m\)' initially at rest. If \(m<<M\), body '\(Q\)' will have a maximum speed equal to '\(2u\)' after collision.

Reason (R): During elastic collision, the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved. 

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.
