Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Givn
m = 0.1kg
u = 10ms\(^{-1}\)
h = 10m
g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)
At h\(_{max}\); v = 0
Using
\(\not v\) = \(\not u\) = \(\not gt\)
\(\not 0\) = \(\not w\) - \(\not 10t\)
v\(^{2}\) = u\(^{2}\) - 2gh
0\(^{2}\) = 10\(^{2}\) - 2 x 10h
20h = 100

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Given \(\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{3}{1}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(m_1\) = 3\(m_2\)
\(\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}\) = \(a_1\) = \(\frac{2a_{2}}{9}\)
\(\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}\) = ?
Since F = ma
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{m_{1}a_{1}}{m_{2}a_{2}}\) = \(\frac{(3 \not m_{2})(2 \not a_{2})}{\not m_{2} a_{2} \not a_{3}}\)
\(\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{2}{3}\) \(\Rightarrow\) 2:3

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Using; \(m_1\) \(u_1\) + \(m_2\) \(u_2\) = (\(m_1\) + \(m_2\))v
\(m_1\) = 0.5kg, \(u_1\) = 10ms\(^{1}\), \(m_2\) = 0.5kg, \(u_1\) = 0
\(\therefore\) (0.5kg x 10) + (0.5 x 0) = (0.5 + 0.5)v
v = 5ms\(^{1}\)
