Two bodies of masses 4 kg and 5kg are acted upon by the same force. If the acceleration of lighter body is 2m//sec^(2) , then the acceleration of the heavier body is:-

According to Newton's law of gravitation, if each body in the universe attracts every other body, why don't two bodies come towards each other?

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

A small body of superdense material, whose mass is twice the mass of the earth but whose size is very small compared to the size of the earth, starts form rest at a height H lt lt R above the earth's surface, and reaches the earth's surface in time t . then t is equal to

Explain why : (a) a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter (b) a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day (c) an optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperatures calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low a value for the temperature of a red hot Iron plece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same plece is in the fumace (d) the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold (e) heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it is seen to take time pT, where p is some number greater than 1. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.
