A sphere of mass falls with speed . The resistive force on the sphere is , where is a constant. What is the terminal speed of the sphere?
A coin is projected horizontally from the top of a desk. The diagram shows the coin at one point in its path. The air resistance is negligible. The arrows E, F and G represent different directions. Which row gives the direction of the acceleration and the direction of the momentum of the coin at this point?
Two ball bearings X and Y are projected from horizontal ground at the same time. X has mass and is projected vertically upwards with speed . Y has mass and is projected at 30° to the horizontal with speed . Air resistance is negligible. Which statement is correct?
Three objects U, V and W leave the edge of a bench at the same time. The objects fall in the same vertical plane with negligible air resistance. U is released from rest so that it falls vertically. V and W are projected horizontally. The paths of the three objects are shown. Which statement is correct?
An object is thrown vertically upwards at time . The object reaches its maximum height when and reaches its terminal speed on the way down. The magnitude of the object's acceleration is . Which graph shows the variation of with ?
X and Y have the same initial momentum.
X and Y reach their maximum heights at different times.
The maximum height reached by Y is half that reached by X.
X and Y reach the ground at the same time.
