A bicyclist comes to a skidding stop in \(10~\text m.\) During this process, the force on the bicycle due to the road is \(200~\text N\) is directly opposed to the motion. The work done by the cycle on the road is:
1. \(+2000~\text J\)
2. \(-200~\text J\)
3. zero
4. \(-20000~\text J\)

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.

A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down at a uniform speed of 7 m/s. It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3 m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact?

1.  8.82 J

2.  7.65 J

3.  7.01 J

4.  7.98 J

The bob of a pendulum is released from a horizontal position. If the length of the pendulum is \(1.5~\text m,\) what is the speed with which the bob arrives at the lowermost point, given that it dissipates \(5\%\) of its initial energy against air resistance?
1. \(2.5~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(3.9~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(4.7~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(5.3~\text{m/s}\)

A mass is performing a vertical circular motion (see figure.) If the average velocity of the particle is increased, then at which point the string will break?

The bob of a simple pendulum having length \(l,\) is displaced from the mean position to an angular position \(\theta\) with respect to vertical. If it is released, then the velocity of the bob at the lowest position will be:

1. \(\sqrt{2 g l \left(\right. 1 - \cos \theta \left.\right)}\)
2. \(\sqrt{2 g l \left(\right. 1 + \cos\theta)}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2 g l\cos\theta}\)
4. \(\sqrt{2 g l}\)

A ball is dropped from a height of \(5~\text {m}.\) If it rebounds up to a height of \(1.8~\text {m},\) then the ratio of velocities of the ball after and before the rebound will be:
1. \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)

2. \(\dfrac{2}{5}\)

3. \(\dfrac{1}{5}\)

4. \(\dfrac{4}{5}\)

A particle of mass m₁ is moving with a velocity v₁ and another particle of mass m₂ is moving with a velocity v₂. Both of them have the same momentum, but their kinetic energies are E₁ and E₂ respectively. If m₁ > m₂ then: 

1. $\frac{{\mathrm{E}}_1}{{\mathrm{E}}_2}=\frac{{\mathrm{m}}_1}{{\mathrm{m}}_2}$

2. ${\mathrm{E}}_1>{\mathrm{E}}_2$

3. ${\mathrm{E}}_1={\mathrm{E}}_2$

4. ${\mathrm{E}}_1<{\mathrm{E}}_2$

A mass of \(0.5~\text{kg}\) moving with a speed of \(1.5~\text{m/s}\) on a horizontal smooth surface, collides with a nearly weightless spring with force constant \(k=50~\text{N/m}.\) The maximum compression of the spring would be:
                   
1.  \(0.12~\text{m}\) 
2.  \(1.5~\text{m}\) 
3.  \(0.5~\text{m}\) 
4.  \(0.15~\text{m}\)
