A long plank of mass 2 kg is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. Two blocks each of mass 1 kg are placed in contact on its rough surface. The coefficient of friction between first block and plank is 0.2 and that between second block and plank is 0.4. The blocks are projected in the opposite direction on the plank with velocity 2 m s-1 and 6 m s-1 respectively. The velocity of the plank when both the blocks come to relative rest with respect to the plank and total work done by friction on the system (blocks + plank) will be:

A small block of mass 'm' is placed on bigger block of mass M, which is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The two blocks are given equal speed u, but opposite directions, as shown in the figure. After some time, it is observed that both the blocks are moving in the direction of motion of the lower block, with a
speed greater than u2. It can be concluded that -

A particle of constant mass m moves in straight line under a time varying force. The change in momentum of the particle in a time interval t1 to t2 can be given as
Δp=t1t2Fdt.
The force F acting on the particle as a function of time t is shown in the graph. If velocity of the particle is zero at t=0, then

A hemisphere of mass 3 m and radius R is free to slide with its base on a smooth horizontal table. A particle of mass m is placed on the top of the hemisphere. If the particle is displaced with a negligible velocity, then find the angular velocity of the particle relative to the centre of the hemisphere at an angular displacement θ, when the velocity of the hemisphere is v.
