Two points are located at a distance of 10 m and 15 m from the source of wave. The period of oscillation is 0.05 sec and the velocity of the wave is 300 m/sec. What is the phase difference between the oscillations at two points ?.

A ball of mass 100 gm is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a velocity of 49m//sec . At the same time another identical ball is dropped from a height of 98 m to fall freely along the same path as that followed by the first ball. After some time the two balls collide and stick together and finally fall to the ground. Find the time of flight of the masses.

From a motorboat moving downstream with a velocity 2 m//s with respect to river, a stone is thrown. The stone falls on an ordinary boat at the instant when the motorboat collides with the ordinary boat. The velocity of the ordinary boat with repsect to the river is equal to zero. The river flow velocity is given to be 1 m//s . The initial velocity vector of the stone with respect to earth is :-

A boat can be rowed at 5 m/s on still water. It is used to cross a 200m wide river from the south bank to the north bank. The river current has uniform velocity of 3 m/s due east. (a) In which direction must it be steered to cross the river perpendicular to current ? (b) How long will it take to cross the river in a direction perpendicular to the river flow ? (c) In which direction must the boat be steered to cross the river in minimum time ? How far will it drift ?

Two blocks of masses 2kg and M are at rest on an inclined plane and are separated by a distance of 6.0m as shown. The coefficient of friction between each block and the inclined plane is 0.25 . The 2kg block is given a velocity of 10.0m//s up the inclined plane. It collides with M, comes back and has a velocity of 1.0m//s when it reaches its initial position. The other block M after the collision moves 0.5m up and comes to rest. Calculate the coefficient of restitution between the blocks and the mass of the block M. [Take sintheta=tantheta=0.05 and g=10m//s^2 ]
