Q1. A tennis ball is dropped on a horizontal smooth surface.

It bounces back
to its original position after hitting the surface. The force on the ball during
the collision is proportional to the length of compression of the ball. Which
one of the following sketches describes the variation of its kinetic energy K
with time t most appropriately? The figures are only illustrative and not to
the scale.

Q2. In the figure, a ladder of mass m is shown leaning against a wall. It is in

static equilibrium making an angle with the horizontal floor. The
coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is 1 and that
between the floor and the ladder is 2. The normal reaction of the wall on
the ladder is N1and that of the floor is N2. If the ladder is about to slip, then
