A shell of mass 200 g is ejected from a gun of mass 4 kg by an explosion that generates 1.05 kJ of energy. The initial velocity of the shell is:
1. 100 ms-1
2. 80 ms-1
3. 40 ms-1
4. 120 ms-1
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. \(mg(h-d)+\frac{1}{2}kd^2\)
The potential energy of a long spring when stretched by \(2\) cm is \(U\). If the spring is stretched by \(8\) cm, the potential energy stored in it is:
1. \(4U\)
2. \(8U\)
3. \(16U\)
4. \(U/4\)
A body of mass 3 kg is under a constant force which causes a displacement s in metres in it, given by the relation s = t2, where t is in sec. Work done by the force in 2 sec is:

4.
\(300 ~\text{J}\) of work is done in sliding a \(2~\text{kg}\) block up an inclined plane of height \(10~\text{m}\). Taking \(g=\) \(10\) m/s2, work done against friction is:
1. \(200 ~\text{J}\)
2. \(100 ~\text{J}\)
3. \(\text{zero}\)
4. \(1000 ~\text{J}\)
Body \(\mathrm{A}\) of mass \(4m\) moving with speed \(u\) collides with another body \(\mathrm{B}\) of mass \(2m\) at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision, the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body \(\mathrm{A}\) is:
1. | \(\dfrac{5}{9}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{1}{9}\) |
3. | \(\dfrac{8}{9}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{4}{9}\) |
When an object is shot from the bottom of a long, smooth inclined plane kept at an angle of \(60^\circ\) with horizontal, it can travel a distance \(x_1\) along the plane. But when the inclination is decreased to \(30^\circ\) and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel \(x_2\) distance. Then \(x_1:x_2\) will be:
1. \(1:2\sqrt{3}\)
2. \(1:\sqrt{2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}:1\)
4. \(1:\sqrt{3}\)
A mass \(m\) is attached to a thin wire and whirled in a vertical circle. The wire is most likely to break when:
1. | \(60^{\circ}\) from vertical. | inclined at an angle of
2. | the mass is at the highest point. |
3. | the wire is horizontal. |
4. | the mass is at the lowest point. |
