A body of mass M moves in outer space with vleocity v. It is desired to break the body into two parts so that the mass of one part is one-tenth of the total mass. After the explosion, the heavier part comes to rest whole the lighter part continues to move in the original direction of motion. The velocity of the small part will be

Comprehension # 5 One particle of mass 1 kg is moving along positive x-axis with velocity 3 m//s . Another particle of mass 2 kg is moving along y-axis with 6 m//s . At time t = 0, 1 kg mass is at (3m, 0) and 2 kg at (0, 9m), x - y plane is the horizontal plane. (Surface is smooth for question 1 and rough for question 2 and 3) The centre of mass of the two particles is moving in a straight line which equation is :-

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attaached to two identical massless springs of spring constatn k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in horizontal plane. the unstretched length of each spring is L. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass (CM) at a distance L from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity vecV_0 = vacV_0hati. The coefficinet of friction is mu. The centre of mass of the disk undergoes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency omega equal to -

Two solid spherical planets have equal radii and mass of 4M and 9M and distance between their centre is 6R. A body of mass m is projected toward heavy planet, then what should be the ditsance of body of mass m from lighter planet so that the gravitational force on it will be zero ?

A small particle of mass m is fixed to the perimeter of a ring of same mass and radius r. The system comprising of particle and ring is placed on a horizontal plane. Friction is negligible on horizontal plane. Initially particle is at top most point, then the system is released from rest. Answer next two question when the particle is at the same height as the centre of ring aftr being released from top most point. Assume that the ring stays in vertical plane during its motion under consideration Mark the CORRECT option(s):
