Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

An object falls from a height of 10 m above the ground. After striking the ground it loses 50% of its kinetic energy. The height upto which the object can rebounce from the ground is:

[Re-NEET 2024]

a

7.5 m

b

10 m

c

2.5 m

d

5 m

✓ Correct answer: d)

5 m

Explanation

K.E. just before striking the ground \(K_1=m g h_1=m g(10)\)
K.E. just after striking the ground \(=K_1-\frac{50}{100} K_1=\frac{50}{100} K_1=\frac{K_1}{2}=K_2\)

Now, \(K_2=m g h_2\)

\(\begin{matrix}\Rightarrow \frac{{K}_{1}}{2}=mg{h}_{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{mg(10)}{2}=mg{h}_{2}\Rightarrow {h}_{2}=5m\end{matrix}\)

Q3
PYQ

A particle of mass M moves along a horizontal x-axis from x=0 to x=L. The coefficient of kinetic friction varies as a function of x as \({\mu }_{k}\)(x) = μ₀ − αx, where μ₀, α are constants of appropriate dimensions, so that \({\mu }_{k}\)(L)=0. The total work done by the frictional force during the motion is nμ₀MgL, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. The value of n is:
