A stone falls freely under gravity. It covers distances h₁, h₂, and h₃, in the first 5 seconds, the next 5 seconds and the next 5 seconds respectively. The relation between h₁, h₂, and h₃ is

• h₁ = 2h₂ = 3h₃

• ${\mathrm{h}}_1 = \frac{{\mathrm{h}}_2}{3} = \frac{{\mathrm{h}}_2}{5}$

• h₂ = 3h₁ and h₃ = 3h₂

• h₁ = h₂ = h₃

Three blocks with masses m, 2m and 3m are connected by strings, as shown in the figure. After an upward force F is applied on block m, the masses move upward at constant speed v. What is the net force on the block of mass 2m ? (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

• Zero

• 3 mg

• 6 mg

The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination θ is perfectly smooth while lower half is rough. A block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom, if the coefficient of friction between the block and lower half of the plane is given by

• $\mathrm{\mu } = \frac{1}{\tan \mathrm{\theta }}$

• $\mathrm{\mu } = \frac{2}{\tan \mathrm{\theta }}$

• µ = 2 tan θ

• µ = tan θ

A uniform force of (3i + j) N acts on a particle of mass 2 kg. Hence the particle is displaced from position (2i + k) m to position ( 4i + 3j - k) m. The work done by the force on the particle is

An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms^-1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 ms^-1 speed. If the third part flies off with 4 ms^-1 speed, then its mass is
