$A$ simple pendulum of length $L = \frac{10}{3} \text{ m}$ with a bob of mass $M = 3m$ is hanging freely from a rigid support. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired with a velocity $u = 50 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ from the ground at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. When the bullet is at its highest point of its trajectory,it collides head-on with the bob of the pendulum and gets embedded in the bob. After collision,if the pendulum moves through a maximum angle of $120^{\circ}$,then the value of $\theta$ is $(g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$.

Blocks of masses $m, m, 2m, 4m$ and $8m$ are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass $m$,moving with speed $v$ along the same line (see figure) collides with the first mass $m$ in a perfectly inelastic manner. All the subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass $8m$ starts moving,the total energy loss is $p\%$ of the original energy. The value of $p$ is close to:

Which of the following is generally true when two particles collide?

$A$ ball of mass $0.2 \ kg$ rests on a vertical post of height $5 \ m$. $A$ bullet of mass $0.01 \ kg$,traveling with a velocity $V \ m/s$ 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 $20 \ m$ and the bullet at a distance of $100 \ m$ from the foot of the post. The initial velocity $V$ of the bullet is
