A body of mass 2 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction with one-fourth its original speed. The mass of the second body which collides with the first body is
2 kg
1.2 kg
3 kg
1.5 kg
In the stable equilibrium position, a body has
maximum potential energy
minimum potential energy
minimum kinetic energy
neither maximum nor minimum potential energy
A particle of mass m at rest is acted upon by a force P for a time t. Its kinetic energy after an interval t is

In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about 1.27 . The approximate location of the centre of mass of the molecule, assuming the chlorine atom to be about 35.5 times as massive as hydrogen is
A sphere of mass 10 kg and radius 0.5 m rotates about a tangent. The moment of inertia of the sphere is
5 kg-m2

A solid sphere (mass 2 m) and a thin spherical shell (mass M) both of the same size, roll down an inclined plane, then
solid sphere will reach the bottom first
hollow spherical shell will reach the bottom first
both will reach at the same time
cannot be predicted as the data is insufficient
