After 2s the thief would be at a distance of 50m fromthe police car.We shall consider this to be t=0.

let after a time t the distance be max.

then the distance between the check post and the thief would be 50+25t.......(i)

the police car would be at a distance of 2.5t^2from the check post...........(ii)

then the distance between them would be x=50+25t-2.5t^2

this would be max when dx/dt=0

which implies dx/dt=25-5t=0

therefore t=5s.hence x=50+125-62.5=112.5(ans)

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
