Important Questions on Laws of Motion
A block of mass at rest on the floor is attached to a ball of mass via a light inextensible string of length which passes over a light small frictionless pulley. The pulley is at a height of from the floor. The ball is raised to a height of and released (see figure). The speed of the block at the instant the string gets taut (not slack) will be



A time varying force acts on a ball of mass for . The force versus time curve is shown below. If the initial speed of the ball is , then the speed of ball after is

Figure represents the position-time graph of a body of mass . Impulse imparted to the body at is


A ball of mass , moving with a speed of , strikes a wall at an angle (as shown in figure). The ball rebounds at the same speed and remains in contact with the wall for ; the force exerted by the ball on the wall is:

(i) second, (ii) seconds, respectively.
Choose the correct option out of the following :

Two billiard balls of equal mass strike a rigid wall with same speed of (as shown) but at different angles. If the balls get reflected with the same speed, then the ratio of the magnitude of impulses imparted to ball and ball by the wall along direction is:


Figures (a), (b), (c) and (d) show variation of force with time.
The impulse is highest in figure.

The force acting on a particle of mass is indicated by the force-time graph shown below. The change in momentum of the particle over the time interval from zero to is:




A rigid ball of mass, strikes a rigid wall at and gets reflected without any loss of speed as shown in the figure below. The value of impulse imparted by the wall on the ball will be
