2. Two stones are located at the same height above the ground at a horizontal distance of 20 m. One of them is projected vertically upward at 20 m/s and the other dropped from rest at the same moment. Find the distance between them one second later. (Assume acceleration due to gravity is 10 ms^–2 )

3. A small mass of 2 kg is tied to the end of a string attached to a fixed point. The mass is drawn aside such that the string is horizontal and is released. When it swings along a circular arc through an angle of 30^o it has kinetic energy of 8 J. Find its kinetic energy when the string becomes vertical.

4. A car is taking a turn of radius 20 m at a speed of 36 kmph. Find the ratio of resultant force on the car to its weight.

5. A car starting from rest goes round a bend with its speed increasing linearly with time. If 2 s after start its centripetal acceleration is 4 m/s² find its centripetal acceleration a second later.

6. A particle is going round a circular path making one revolution in 4 s. Consider any diameter of the circle and project the position of the particle going round the circle on to diameter. Times taken to move between two points on the circle and the time taken to move between the corresponding projections on the diameter are obviously the same. Find the time taken by the projection to move between the extreme of the diameter and a point midway between the center and the extreme.

7. A particle starting from rest from O accelerates uniformly along a straight line and crosses two points A and B which are 5 m apart in 2 s. If velocity at B is 2 m/s more than the velocity at A, find the distance OA.

9. A point object is located on the principal axis of a lens at a distance of 25 cm from it. When the object is moved 5 cm away from the lens the image moves by 40 cm. Find the focal length of the lens

10. Two wires made of same material have their thicknesses in the ratio 1:2 and have equal lengths. When connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is R. Find the equivalent resistance when they are connected in series.

11. A magnet is arranged parallel to an external uniform magnetic field of induction B_o with its north pole pointing in the direction of the field. At a point on the equatorial line of the magnet the magnetic induction is zero. Find the induction at double this distance on the axial line of the magnet.

13. A straight conductor carries a current vertically upward. A charged particle moving horizontally towards the wire is at an instant located to the east of the wire. Find the direction of the magnetic field at the position of the charged particle and the direction of the force on it.

14. A longitudinal wave of frequency 1000 Hz is travelling in a medium at 350 m/s. At a certain point in the medium there is a compression at a certain moment. How many milliseconds later would the next rarefaction form at this place. How far is the earlier compression at this time.

15. Fission of one uranium nucleus evolves 200 MeV of energy. Find the number of nucleii of uranium that should undergo fission to evolve energy required to power a 40 W lamp for 25 hrs. How many micrograms of mass has disappeared in the process.
