MCQ
$A$ force exerts an impulse $I$ on a particle changing its speed from $u$ to $2u$. The applied force and the initial velocity are oppositely directed along the same line. The work done by the force is
  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}{\text{I}}\,{\text{u}}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}{\text{I}}\,{\text{u}}$
  • C
    $I \,u$
  • D
    $2\, I\, u$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}{\text{I}}\,{\text{u}}$
b
$\mathrm{I}=\Delta \mathrm{P}$

$\mathrm{I}=2 \mathrm{mu}-(-\mathrm{mu})$

$\mathrm{I}=3 \mathrm{mu} \ldots(\mathrm{i})$

According to work energy theorem

$\mathrm{W}=\Delta \mathrm{T}$

$\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{i}}$

$\mathrm{W}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}(2 \mathrm{u})^{2}-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}(-\mathrm{u})^{2}$

$\mathrm{W}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}\left(4 \mathrm{u}^{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mu}^{2}$

$\mathrm{w}=\frac{3 \mathrm{mu}^{2}}{2}$         $...(ii)$

From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$\mathrm{W}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Iu}$

A demonstration apparatus on a table in the lab is shown in diagram. It consists of a metal track (shown as a thick solid line in the figure below) along which a perfectly spherical marble which can roll without slipping. In one run, the marble is released from rest at a height h above the table on the left section, rolls down one side and then up the other side without slipping, briefly stopping when it has reached $h_1$. Assuming the table to be horizontal and neglecting air drag as well as any energy loss due to rolling,
$Assertion :$ Reversible systems are difficult to find in real world.
$Reason :$ Most processes are dissipative in nature.
The velocity vector $v$ and displacement vector $x$ of a particle executing SHM are related as $\frac{v d v}{d x}=-\omega^2 x$ with the initial condition $v=v_0$ at $x=0$. The velocity $v$, when displacement is $x$, is
Three different projectiles, each with the same mass, are fired with speed $v$ at a wall. In case $A,$ the projectile bounces straight back with speed $v.$ In case $B$, the projectile sticks to the wall. In case $C$, the projectile crashes through the wall and emerges with half its original speed. These three cases are shown here.

Place the impulse exerted by the wall on the projectile in each of these three cases in the correct order.

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
