B

5.0 m/s

C

14 m/s

D

40 m/s

A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizonta surface and is free to move in any way on th surface. Its mass is 0.16 kg and length sqrt3 meters. Two particless, each of mass 0.08 kg, are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar, one with a velocity of 10 m/s, and other with 6m/s as shown in fig. The first particle strikes the bar at point A and the other at point B. Points A and B are at a distane of 0.5m from the centre of the bar. The particles strike the bar at the same instant of time and stick to the bar on collision. Calculate the loss of the kinetic energy of the system in the above collision process.

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.150 m , are sent on a string that is attached to a wall at one end. The pulses are reflected at the wall and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. When two waves are present on the same string. The net displacement of a given point is the sum of the displacement of the individuals waves at the point. What is the net displacement at point on the spring where two pulses am crossing, (a) if the string is rigidly attached to the post? (b) if the end at which reflection occurs is free is slide up and down ?

Twp boats are moving along perpendicular paths on a still take at right. One boat moves with a speed of 3 ms^(-1) and the other boat moves with a speed of 4 ms^(-1) in the directions such that they collide after some time. At t=0, the boats are 300 m apart. Two boats will collide after time ______.

At a harbour, a boat is standing and wind is blowing at a speed of sqrt(2)m//sec. due to which , the flag on the boat flutters along north - east. Now the boat enters in to river, which is flowing with a velocity of 2m//sec . Due north. The boat starts with zero velocity relative to the river and its constant acceleration relative to the river is 0.2m//sec^(2) due east. In which direction will the flag flutter at 10 seconds ?

A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius R, as shown in figure. Two small holes S and D are made in the tube at the position at right angle to each other. A source placed at S generates a wave of intensity I_(0) which two parts: one part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at point D where a detector is placed. 1. If a maxima if formed at a detector, then the magnitude of wavelength lambda of the, wave produced is given by

One end of string of length 1.5 m is tied to a stone of mass 0.4 kg and the other end to a small pivot on a smooth vertical board. What is the minimum speed of the stone required at its lowermost.point so that the string does not slack at any point in its motion along the vertical circle ?

Two pipes are submerged in sea water , arranged as shown in figure . Pipe (A) with length L_(A) = 1.5 m and one open end , contains a small source that sets up the standing wave with the second lowest resonant frequency of that pipe . Sound from pipe A sets up resonance in pipe B , which has both ends open . The resonance is at the second lowest resonant frequency of pipe B . The length of the pipe B is :
