A solid horizontal surface is covered with a thin layer of oil. A rectangular block of mass ݉ൌ0.4 ݇݃ is at rest on this surface. An impulse of 1.0 ܰݏ is applied to the block at time ݐൌ0 so that it starts moving along the ݔ-axis with a velocity ݒሺݐሻൌݒ଴݁ି௧/ఛ, where ݒ଴ is a constant and ߬ൌ4 ݏ. The displacement of the block, in ݉݁ݐݎ݁ݏ, at ݐൌ߬ is __________. Take ݁ିଵൌ0.37.

Q8Section 2 – Multiple Correct

A ball is projected from the ground at an angle of 45° with the horizontal surface. It reaches a maximum height of 120 ݉ and returns to the ground. Upon hitting the ground for the first time, it loses half of its kinetic energy. Immediately after the bounce, the velocity of the ball makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal surface. The maximum height it reaches after the bounce, in ݉݁ݐݎ݁ݏ, is ___________.

Q9Section 2 – Multiple Correct

A particle, of mass 10ିଷ݇݃ and charge 1.0 ܥ, is initially at rest. At time ݐൌ0, the particle comes under the influence of an electric field ܧሬԦሺݐሻൌܧ଴sin ߱ݐଓ̂, where ܧ଴ൌ1.0 ܰܥିଵand ߱ൌ10ଷ ݎܽ݀ ݏିଵ. Consider the effect of only the electrical force on the particle. Then the maximum speed, in ݉ ݏିଵ, attained by the particle at subsequent times is ____________.

Q10Section 2 – Multiple Correct

A moving coil galvanometer has 50 turns and each turn has an area 2 ൈ10ିସ ݉ଶ. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is 0.02 ܶ. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is 10ିସ ܰ ݉ ݎܽ݀ିଵ. When a current flows through the galvanometer, a full scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by 0.2 ݎܽ݀. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is 50 ߗ. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range 0 െ1.0 ܣ. For this purpose, a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance, in ݋݄݉ݏ, is __________.
