1. Two trolleys A and B of equal masses M are moving in opposite directions with
velocities v and -v respectively on separate horizontal frictionless parallel tracks.
When they start crossing each other, a ball of mass m is thrown from B to A and
another of same is thrown from A to B with velocities normal to v . The balls may be
thrown in following two ways
(i) balls from A to B to A are thrown simultaneously.
(ii) ball is thrown from A to B after the ball thrown from B reaches A. Which
procedure would lead to a larger change in the velocities of the trolleys ?
2. A wind-powered generator converts wind energy into electrical energy. Assume that
the generator converts a fixed fraction of the wind energy intercepted by its blades into
electrical energy. For wind speed v, the electrical power output will be proportional to
(A) v (B) v2 (C) v3 (D) V4

6. The balls, having linear momenta 𝑝⃗1 = pî and 𝑝⃗2 = -pî , undergo a collision in
free space. There is no external force acting on the balls. Let 𝑝⃗1 and 𝑝⃗2 be their
final momenta. The following options(s) is (are) NOT ALLOWED for any non-zero
value of p, a1, a2, b1, b2, c1 and c2

10. Look at the drawing given in the figure which has been drawn with ink of
uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles,
and each of the two line segments is m. The mass of the
ink unsed to draw the outer circle is 6m. The coordinates
of the centres of the different parts are outer circle (0, 0),
left inner circle (-a, a), right inner circle (a, a), vertical
line (0, 0) and horizontal line (0, - a). The y-coordinate of
the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

14. A ball of mass 0.2 kg rests on a vertical post of height 5 m. A bullet of mass
0.01 kg traveling with a velocity V m/s in a horizontal
direction, hits the centre of the ball. After the collision,
the ball and bullet travel independently. The ball hits the
ground at a distance of 20 m and the bullet at a distance
of 100 m from the foot of the post. The initial velocity V
of the bullet is
