A ball kept in a close box moves in the ...

A ball kept in a close box moves in the box making collisions with the walls. The box is kept on a smooth surface. The velocity of the centre of mass

A

of the box remains constant

B

of the (box `+` ball) system remains constant

C

of the ball remains constant

D

of the ball relative to the box remains constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As no external force acts on the ball `+` box system, hence velcilty of the system remains constant.

A bomb of mass 3m is kept inside a closed box of mass 3m and length 4L at its centre. It explodes in two parts of mass m and 2m . The two parts move in opposite directions and stick to the opposite sides of the walls of box. The box is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the distance moved by the box during this time interval.

A small box of mass m is kept on a fixed, smooth sphere of radius R at a position where the radius through the box makes an angle of 30^(@) with the vertical. The box is released from this position (a) What is the force exerted by the sphere on the box just after the release ? (b) Find the distance travelled by the box before it leaves contact with the sphere.

Direction: Nine boxes having a unique fruit or vegetable (apple, pear, orange, carrot, onion, ginger, lemon, garlic, and potato) are placed vertically one above the other but not necessarily in the same order. Gingers are kept on top and the onions are kept 1 place above the bottom box. Oranges are in the box that is kept at the 4thposition from the top. There are only 4 boxes between apple box and potato box. Lemons and pear are not kept at the bottom. Garlic box is kept 2 boxes above the pear box. If potato box is not kept immediately below the ginger box then how many boxes are there between apple and carrot box?
