An explosion blows a rock into three parts. Two parts go off at right angles to each other. These two are, the first part 1 kg moving with a velocity of 12 ms-1 and the second part 2 kg moving with a velocity of 8 ms-1. If the third part flies off with a velocity of 4 ms-1, its mass would be:

1. 5 kg
2. 7 kg
3. 17 kg
4. 3 kg

Three concentric spherical shells have radii \(a,b, ~\text{and}~c\) \((a<b<c)\) and have surface charge densities \(\sigma, -\sigma, ~\text{and}~\sigma\) respectively. If \(V_A, V_B~\text{and}~V_C\) denote the potential of the three shells, and \(c= a+b\), it can be concluded that:
1. \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}} \neq \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}\)
2. \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_B \neq \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}\)
3. \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}} \neq \mathrm{V}_B \neq \mathrm{V}_A\)
4. \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_B=\mathrm{V}_A\)

A wave in a string has an amplitude of \(2\) cm. The wave travels in the positive direction of the \(x\text-\)axis with a speed of \(128~\text{m/s}\) and it is noted that \(5\) complete waves fit in the \(4\) m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is:
1. \(y =(0.02~\text{m})\sin(7.85x+1005t)\)
2. \(y =(0.02~\text{m})\sin(15.7x-2010t)\)
