A ball falls from a height of 20 m on the floor and rebounds to a height of 5 m. Time of contact is 0.02 s. Find the acceleration during impact

A short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north-south direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at 14 cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth’s magnetic field at the place is 0.36 G and the angle of dip is zero. What is the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null−point (i.e., 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet? (At null points, field due to a magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field.)

Two waves are given by $y_1 = \cos \, (4t - 2x)$ and $y_2 = sin \, \big(4t - 2x + \frac{\pi}{4} \big).$ The phase difference between the two waves is

A plane square sheet of charge of side $0.5\, m$ has uniform surface charge density. An electron at $1\, cm$ from the centre of the sheet experiences a force of $1.6 \times 10^{-12}\, N$ directed away from the sheet. The total charge on the plane square sheet is $\left(\varepsilon_{0}=8.854 \times 10^{-12} C ^{2} m ^{-2}\, N ^{-1}\right)$
