(N/A) Perfectly inelastic collision: When two oppositely charged objects collide and stick together due to electrostatic attraction.
$(b)$ Inelastic collision: Large macroscopic objects typically undergo deformation and energy loss during collision.
$(c)$ Perfectly elastic collision: Quartz balls are highly elastic materials,and their collision involves negligible loss of kinetic energy.

$A$ block of mass $m = 5 \text{ kg}$ is released from the top of an inclined plane as shown in the figure. The inclined plane has a length of $10 \text{ m}$ and an angle of $30^{\circ}$. The horizontal surface has a coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu = 0.5$ and a length of $2 \text{ m}$ before the spring of spring constant $k = 100 \text{ N/m}$. Calculate the maximum compression $x$ in the spring.

Three particles $A, B$,and $C$ of equal mass move with speed $V$ as shown to strike at the centroid of an equilateral triangle. After the collision,$A$ comes to rest and $B$ retraces its path with speed $V$. The speed of $C$ after the collision is:

$A$ rain drop of radius $2 \; mm$ falls from a height of $500 \; m$ above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height,it attains its maximum (terminal) speed,and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is $10 \; m s^{-1}$?
