A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, the motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that
its velocity is constant
its acceleration is constant
its kinetic energy is constant
its kinetic energy is constant
C.
its kinetic energy is constant
When a force of constant magnitude acts on the velocity of particle perpendicularly, then there is no change in the kinetic energy of the particle. Hence, kinetic energy remains constant.
Two masses m1 = 5 kg and m2 = 10 kg, connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley, are moving as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of the horizontal surface is 0.15. The minimum weight m that should be put on top of m2 to stop the motion is :
10.3 kg
18.3 kg
27.3 kg
43.3 kg
In a collinear collision, a particle with an initial speed v0 strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is 50% greater than the original kinetic energy, the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles, after the collision, is:

v0/2
