Given g =9.8ms 2 . 3.Acar is accelerated from 10m/s to 15m/s The increase in kinetic energy is Ek1 . Again the car is accelerated from 15m/s to 20m/s the increase in kinetic energy is now Ek2 . What is the ratio Ek1/Ek2 4.A 16kg block moving on a frictionless table with a velocity of 4m/s compress an ideal spring and comes to rest. If the force constant of the spring be 100N/m,then how much is the spring compressed.(1.6m) 5.A ball is dropped from rest at a height of 40m. After striking, it losses 25% of its energy. To what height does it rebound ? What is the velocity at the highest point?(30m;Zero) 6.A pendulum bob has a speed of 3m/s while passing through its lowest position. What is its speed when it makes an angle of 60owith the vertical ?The length of the pendulum is 0.5m. Take g = 10ms-2 .(2m/s) 7.If momentun a body is increased by 50% , then what will be the percentage increase in KE of the body ?(125%) 8.A pump can throw 10quintals of coal per hour from a coal mine 120m deep. Calculate the power of the engine in Watt assuming that the efficiency is 80%.(408.3 watt) 9. A man cycles up a hill whose slope is 1 in 20 with a velocity of 6.4km/hr along the hill.

A ball of 0.1kg makes an elastic head on collision with a ball of unknown mass that is initially at rest. If the 0.1kg ball rebounds at one third of its original speed, what is the mass of the other ball?(0.2kg) 11.A body of mass M at rest is struck by moving body of mass m. Prove that the fraction of the initial kinetic energy of mass transferred to the struck body is 4Mm / (m+M)2. 12.A mass of 0.15kg is moving with a velocity of [2i + 6j]. m/s.

A ball is thrown in the vertically downward from a height of 10m with an initial velocity vo. It collides with the ground, loses 50% of its energy in collision & rebounds to the same height. Find: (i) the initial velocity vo.(ii) the height to which the ball would rise after the collision if the initial velocity were directed upward.(14m/s) 16. Find the power of the engine deployed to lift water at the rate of 5litre of water in one second through an average height of 10m from a well of 10m.Assume 10% of the power is wasted.(1.089Kw)
