A spring of spring constant k placed horizontally on a rough horizontal surface is compressed against a block of mass m placed on the surface so as to store maximum energy in the spring. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μ, the potential energy stored the spring is:

A block of mass 2 kg is free to move along the x-axis. It is at rest and from t=0 onwards it is subjected to a time-dependent force Ft in the x direction. The force Ft varies with t as shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the block after 4.5 seconds is:

IMPORTANT

Assertion : The instantaneous power of an agent is measured as the dot product of instantaneous velocity and the force (only one force applied by agent) acting on it at that instant.

Reason : The unit of instantaneous power is watt.

EASY
NEET
IMPORTANT

Assertion : When the force retards the motion of a body, the work done is zero.

Reason : Work done depends on angle between force and displacement.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: In a perfectly inelastic collision between two spheres, velocity of both spheres just after the collision are not always equal.

Reason: For two spheres undergoing collision, component of velocities of both spheres along line of impact just after the collision will be equal if the collision is perfectly inelastic. The component of velocity of each sphere perpendicular to line of impact remains unchanged due to the impact.
