A moving block having mass m, collides with another stationary block having mass 4m. The lighter block comes to rest after collision. When the initial velocity of the lighter block is v, then the value of coefficient of restitution (e) will be

0.8
0.25
0.5
0.4
Explanation:

According to law of conservation of linear momentum, $mv + 4m\times 0= 4m\acute{v}+0$
$\acute{v}=\dfrac{v}{4}$
$e=\dfrac{Relative velocity of separation}{Relative velocity of approach}=\dfrac{\frac{v}{4}}{v}$
$e=\dfrac {1}{4}=0.25$

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

Answer

A toy car with charge q moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ Due to the force q $\vec{E}$ E , its velocity increases from 0 to 6 m/s in one second duration. At that instant the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between 0 to 3 seconds are respectively

Answer

A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference level. If screw gauge has a zero error of –0.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball is

Answer

The kinetic energies of a planet in an elliptical orbit about the Sun, at positions A, B and C are $K_{A}, K_{B}$ and $K_{C}$, respectively. AC is the major axis and SB is perpendicular to AC at the position of the Sun S as shown in the figure. Then

Answer

If the mass of the Sun were ten times smaller and the universal gravitational constant were ten times larger in magnitude, which of the following is not correct?

Answer

A solid sphere is in rolling motion. In rolling motion a body possesses translational kinetic energy $\left(K_{t}\right)$ as well as rotational kinetic energy $\left(K_{t}\right)$ simultaneously. The ratio $K_{t}:\left(K_{t}+K_{r}\right)$ for the sphere is

Answer

A small sphere of radius r falls from rest in a viscous liquid. As a result, heat is produced due to viscous force. The rate of production of heat when the sphere attains its terminal velocity, is proportional to
