A rectangular block is mobing along a frictionless path, when it encounters the circular loop as shown. The block passes points `1,2,3,4,` before ret runing to the horizontal tracks. At point 3

A

its mechanical energy is minimum

B

the forces on it are balanced

C

it is not accelerating

D

its speed is minimum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Mechanical energy is conserved during the motion. At highest point, kinetic energy is minimum. So, speed is minimum. The block has radial acceleration at top.

A block of mss m is placed on a level frictionless table. The block is attached to a horizontally aligned spring fixed with its other end and is vibrating in a horizontal with the pariod T . Suddenly at the instant of time when the spring comes to the position of euilibrium and becomes unstretched the block disconnects form the spring and continues sliding across the frictionless surface away from the until it encounters loop of radius R . What must be the amplitude of vibrations of the block s on the spring in order for the block to complets one loop without falling down?

A block of mass m_(1) rests on a horizontal table. A string tied to the block is passed on a frictionless pulley fixed at the end of the table and to the other end of string is hung another block of mass m_(2) . The acceleration of the system is

A small block of mass m is pushed on a smooth track from position A with a velocity (2)/(sqrt(5)) times the minimum velocity required to reach point D. The block will leave the contact with track at the point where normal force between them becomes zero. Q. When the block reaches the point B, what is the direction (in terms of angle with horizontal) of acceleration of the block?

A 100 g block is connected to a horizontal massless spring of force constant 25.6(N)/(m) As shown in Fig. the block is free to oscillate on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is displaced 3 cm from the equilibrium position and , at t=0 , it is released from rest at x=0 It executes simple harmonic motion with the postive x-direction indecated in Fig. The position time (x-t) graph of motion of the block is as shown in Fig. Q. When the block is at position B on the graph its.

A block B is placed over a cart which in turn lies over a smooth horizontal floor. Block A and Block C are connected to block B with light inextensible strings passing over light frictionless pulleys fixed to the cart as shown. Initially the blocks and the cart are at rest. All the three blocks have mass m and the cart has mass M(M=3m) . Now a constant horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to block A towards right. Q. Let the coefficient of friction between block B and cart is mu(mugt0) and friction is absent everywhere else. Then the maximum value of force F applied to block A such that there is no relative acceleration between block B and cart is
