This question has statement 1 and statement 2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. If two springs S1 and S2 of force constants k1 and k2, respectively, are stretched by the same force, it is found that more work is done on spring S1 than on spring S2. Statement 1 : If stretched by the same amount, work done on S1, will be more than that on S2 Statement 2:k1<k2

A string $A$ of length $0.314$ m and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{10}$ N/m$^2$ is connected to another string $B$ of length and Young's modulus both twice of those of $A$. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass $0.8$ kg. The net change in length of the combination is _____ mm. (radius of both the strings is $0.2$ mm and acceleration due to gravity $= 10$ m/s$^2$) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)
A particle of mass $m$ falls from rest through a resistive medium having resistive force, $F=-k v$, where $v$ is the velocity of the particle and $k$ is a constant. Which of the following graphs represents velocity ($v$) versus time ($t$)?
A spring of force constant $15 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ is cut into two pieces. If the ratio of their length is $1: 3$, then the force constant of smaller piece is $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$.
Initially a satellite of 100 kg is in a circular orbit of radius $1.5 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$. This satellite can be moved to a circular orbit of radius $3 R_{E}$ by supplying $\alpha \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$ of energy. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. (Take Radius of Earth $R_{E}=6 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$)
