$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?

Consider two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_1 = 10 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 5 \ kg$ that are placed on a frictionless table. The block $A$ moves with a constant speed $v = 3 \ m/s$ towards the block $B$ kept at rest. $A$ spring with spring constant $k = 3000 \ N/m$ is attached to the block $B$ as shown in the figure. After the collision,suppose that the blocks $A$ and $B$,along with the spring in a constant compression state,move together. Then the compression in the spring is (neglect the mass of the spring).

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Suppose the particle,when it reaches the horizontal surface again,has a velocity $v_1$ with respect to the ground,and the wedge has a velocity $v_2$. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.
