VI. Answer any TWO of the following questions. 2  5 = 10
45.A constant force acting on a body of mass 3.0 kg changes its speed from 2.0 m/s to 3.5
m/s in 25 s, the direction of the motion of the body remains unchanged. What is the
magnitude and direction of the force?
46.A body weighs 63 N on the surface of the earth. What is the gravitational force on it due
to the earth at a height equal to half the radius of the earth? Given that the radius of
earth = 6400 km.
47.A copper block of mass 2.5 kg is heated in a furnace to a temperature of 500 0C and
then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice that can melt?
(Specific heat of copper = 390 J kg-1 K-1; heat of fusion of water = 335000 J kg-1.
48.A block whose mass is 1 kg is fastened to a spring. The spring has a spring constant of
50 N/m. The block is pulled to a distance = 10 cm from its equilibrium position x = 0 on
a frictionless surface from rest at t = 0. Calculate the kinetic energy of the block when it
is 5 cm away from the mean position.
