(A) g (B) g/s

(C) g/4 (D) zero [C]

Sol. Acceleration of each mass w.r.t. pulley
3mg – mg
= = g/2
(3m + m)
Acceleration of centre of mass
(3m) g 2 – m g 2
= = g/4
(3m + m)

Q.29 A ball is dropped from a height of 20 cm. Ball rebound to a height of 10 cm. What is the loss of energy ?
(A) 25% (B) 75% (C) 50% (D) 100%
mgh – mgh ' h – h'
Sol.[C] % loss = × 100 = × 100

Q.30 A ball is projected with a velocity 20 ms–1 at an angle to the horizontal. In order to have the maximum range, its velocity at
the highest position must be -
(A) 10 ms–1 (B) 14 ms–1
(C) 28 ms–1 (D) zero [B]
Sol. For maximum range  = 45º
Hence velocity at highest point = u cos 45º

Q.31 A stone thrown with the velocity V0 = 14 m/s at an angle 45° to the horizontal, dropped to the ground at a distance 'S' from
the point where it was thrown. From what height should the stone be thrown in horizontal direction with the same initial
velocity so that it fall at the same spot -
(A) 14.2 m (B) 16.9 m
(C) 10.0 m (D) 9.6 m [C]
