A car ' A ' of mass m is initially at rest on a plank of mass M tied to the identical plank ' C ' of same mass M through a massless inextensible string as shown in the figure. The car accelerates from rest to velocity v0 with respect to plank ' B ' in time t0sec. At time t=t0 the car applies brake and comes to rest relative to plank in negligible time. Neglect friction between planks and ground.

A frog sits on the end of a long board of length L=5 m. The board rests on a frictionless horizontal table. The frog wants to jump to the opposite end of the board. What is the minimum take-off speed (in m/s ), i.e., relative to ground that allows the frog to do the trick? The board and the frog have equal masses.

A massless spring of force constant 1000 N m-1 is compressed a distance of 20 cm between discs of 8 kg and 2 kg, spring is not attached to discs. The system is given an initial velocity 3 m s-1 perpendicular to the length of spring as shown in the figure. What is the ground frame velocity of 2 kg block in (m s-1) when spring regains its natural length?

A child of mass 4 kg jumps from cart B to cart A and then immediately back to cart B. The mass of each cart is 20 kg and they are initially at rest. In both the cases the child jumps at 6 m s-1 relative to the cart. If the cart moves along the same line with negligible friction with the final velocities of vB and vA, respectively, then the ratio of 6vB and 5vA is x:1. Write the value of x.

A man of mass M=58 kg jumps from an aeroplane as shown in figure. He sees the hard ground below him and a lake at a distance d=1 m from the point directly below him. He immediately puts off his jacket (mass m=2 kg ) and throws it in a direction directly away from the lake. If he just fails to strike the ground, find the distance (in 101 m ) he should walk now to pick his jacket. (Neglect air resistance and take the velocity of man at the time of jump with respect to earth zero.)
