The tension at which a fishing line snaps is commonly called the line's "strength." What minimum strength is needed for a line that is to stop a salmon of weight 90 N in 11 cm if the fish is initially drifting at 2.8 m/s ? Assume a constant deceleration.

A body starts with some initial velocity along a straight line. After 3 s it is found to be a distance of 15 m from the starting point. At 4 s it is at starting point. What is the initial velocity of the body ? (Assume constant acceleration).

A spaceship is orbiting the earth in a circular orbit at a height equal to radius of the earth (R_(c) = 6400 km) from the surface of the earth. An astronaut is on a space walk outside the spaceship. He is at a distance of l = 200 m from the ship and is connected to it with a simple cable which can sustain a maximum tension of10 N. Assume that the centre of the earth, the spaceship and the astronaut are in a line. Mass of astronaut along with all his accessories is 100 kg. Do you think that a weak cable that can only take a load of 10 N, can prevent him from drifting in space ? Make a guess. Estimate the tension in the cable.

A particle has initial velocity 12 m//s . It moves due to a constant force along the line of velocity which initially produces retardation of 8 m//s^(2) . Then :

A package rest on a conveyor belt which is initially at rest . The belt is started and moves to the right for 1.3 s with a constant acceleration of 2 m//s^(2) . The belt then moves with a constant deceleration a_(2) and comes to a stop after a total displacement of 2.2 m . Knowing that the coefficient of friction between the package and the belt are mu_(s) = 0.35 and mu_(k) = 0.25 , determine (a) the deceleration a_(2) of the belt , (b) the displacement of the package relative to the belt as the belt comes to a stop. (g = 9.8 m//s^(2))

A small cart A starts moving on a horizontal surface, assumed to be x-y plane along a straight line parallel to x-axis (see figure) with a constant acceleration of 4 m//s^(2) . Initially it is located on the positive y-axis at a distance 9 m from origin. At the instant the cart starts moving, a ball is rolled along the surface from the origin in a direction making an angle 45° with the x-axis. The ball moves without friction at a constant velocity and hits the cart. (a) Describe the path of the ball in a reference frame attached to the cart. (b) Find the speed of the ball.

An ant runs from an ant-hill in a straight line so that its velocity is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the ant-hill. When the ant is at point A at a distance l_(1) = 1m from the centre of the ant-hill, its velocity v_(1) = 2 cm//s . What time will it take the ant to run from point A to point B which is at a distance l_(2) = 2m from the centre of the anthill ?

Two slits S_(1) and S_(2) on the x-axis and symmetric with respect to y-axis are illuminated by a parallel monochromatic light beam of wavelength lamda . The distance between the slits is d(gt gt lamda) . Point M is the mid point of the line S_(1)S_(2) and this point is considered as the origin. The slits are in horizontal plane. The interference pattern is observed on a horizontal palte (acting as screen) of mass M , Which is attached to one end of a vertical spring of spring constant K. The other end of the spring is fixed to ground At t=0 the plate is at a distance D(gt gt d) below the plane of slits and the spring is in its natural length. The plate is left from rest from its initial position. Find the x ad y co-ordinates of the n^(th) maxima on the plate as a function of time. Asuume that spring is light andplate always remains horizontal.

A football player, starting from rest at the line of scrimmage, accelerates along a straight line for a time of 1.5 s. Then , during a negligible amount of time, he changes the magnitude of his acceleration to a value of 1.1 m//s^(2) . With this acceleration, he continues in the same direction for another 1.2s, until he reaches a speed of 3.4 m/s. What is the value of his acceleration ( assumed to be constant ) during the initial 1.5 s period ?
