Consider a game played by 10 prople in which each flips a fair coin at the same time. If all but one of the coins comes up the same, then the add persons wing (e.g., if there are nine tails and one head then person having lead wins.) If such a situation does not occur, the players flips again. Find the probability that game is settled on or after nth toss.

All the surfaces shown in figure are frictionless. The mass of the car is M, that of the block is mk and the spring has spring constant.

A person is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleration, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg. Assuming that the magnitudes of the acceleration and the deceleration are the same., find a. the true weight of the person and b. the magnitude of the acceleration. Take g=9.9 m/s^2 .

A siren is fitted on as car going towards a vertical wall at a speed of 36 km/h.
