- A ball of mass \(0.2 \mathrm{~kg}\) rests on a vertical post of height \(5 \mathrm{~m}\). A bullet of mass \(0.01 \mathrm{~kg}\), travelling with a velocity \(v \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in a horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After the collision, the ball and bullet travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) and the bullet at a distance of \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) from the foot of the post. The initial velocity \(v\) of the bullet is

When a particle of mass \(m\) moves on the \(x\)-axis in a potential of the form \(V(x)=k x^2\), it performs simple harmonic motion.
The corresponding time period is proportional to \(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\), as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of \(x=0\) in a way different from \(k x^2\) and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) moving on the \(x\)-axis. Its potential energy is \(V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)\) for \(|x|\) near the origin and becomes a constant equal to \(V_0\) for \(|x| \geq X_0\) (see figure).
