12. A man of 60 kg weight is standing at rest on a platform. He jumps up vertically a distance of 1 m and
the platform at the same instant moves horizontally forward with the result that the man lands 1 meter
behind the point on the platfrom from where the took the jump the total work done by the man at the
instant he lands is
(a) 300 J (b) 150 J (c) 600 J (d) zero
13. A marble moving with some velocity collides perfectly elastically head-on with another marble at rest
having mass 1.5 times the mass of the colliding marble. The percentage of kinetic energy by the
colliding marble after the collision is
(a) 4 (b) 25 (c) 44 (d) 67
14. A body of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 10 m. Its increase in kinetic energy is
(a) 9800 J (b) 1000 J (c) 5000 J (d) 3000 J
15. An isolated particle of mass m is moving in a horizontal plane (x-y), along the x-axis, at a certain height
above the ground. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses m/4 and 3m/4 . An instant later,
the smaller fragment is at y = + 15 cm. The larger fragment at this instant is at
(a) y = -5 cm (b) y = +20 cm (c) y = +5 cm (d) y = -20 cm
16. A uniform chain of length 2 m is kept on a table such that a length of 60 cm hangs freely from the edge
of the table. The total mass of the chain is 4 kg. What is the work done in pulling the entire chain on
the table?
(a) 7.2 J (b) 3.6 J (c) 120 J (d) 1200 J
17. A body of mass 20 kg is initially at a height of 3 m above the ground. It is lifted to a height of 2 m from
that position. Its increase in potential energy is
(a) 100 J (b) 392 J (c) 60 J (d) -100 J
18. A body of mass 10 kg is moved parallel to the ground, through a distance of 2 m. The work done
against gravitational force is
(a) 196 J (b) -196 J (c) 20 J (d) zero
19. A ball is dropped from a height of 1 m. If the coeffcient of restitution between the surface and ball is
0.6, the ball rebounds to a height of
(a) 0.6 m (b) 0.4 m (c) 1 m (d) 0.36 m
20. An electric heater of rating 1000 W is used for 5 hrs per day for 20 days. The electrical energy utilised
is
(a) 150 kWh (b) 200 kWh (c) 100 kWh (d) 300 kWh
