A block of mass m is connected to another block of mass M by a spring (massless) of spring constant k. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially, the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force F starts acting on the block of mass M to pull it. Find the force on the block of mass m? 1

On screen:

T kx m k M F

F - T = Ma T = ma Adding we getF = (M + m) a Or, a = Force on block mass m is Hence, option (3) is correct. .

Scene 11
On screen: AIEEE 2005 A spherical ball of mass 20 kg is stationary at the top of a hill of height 100 m. It rolls down a smooth surface to the ground, then climbs up another hill of height 30 m and finally rolls down to a horizontal base at a height of 20 m above the ground. The velocity attained by the ball is: (1) 40 m/s Voiceover: (2) 20 m/s (3) 10 m/s (4) 10 3 m/s

This problem is based on the concept of transfer of energy - from AIEEE 2005. A spherical ball of mass 20 kg is stationary at the top of a hill of height 100 m. It rolls down a smooth surface to the ground, then climbs up another hill of height 30 m and finally rolls down to a horizontal base at a height of 20 m above the ground. The velocity attained by the ball is: (1) 40 m/s (2) 20 m/s (3) 10 m/s 1 2 Or, Or, 1 1 2 16 4 (4) 10 3 m/s

Hence option (1) is correct.
