$A$ block of mass $m$ starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi-circular track from a height $h$ as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track,it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass $m$. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide,the maximum height that the block-putty system could reach is:

  • A
    $h/4$
  • B
    $h/2$
  • C
    $h$
  • D
    independent of $h$

$A$ ball of mass $0.2 \,kg$ is thrown vertically down from a height of $10 \,m$. It collides with the floor and loses $50 \%$ of its energy and then rises back to the same height. The value of its initial velocity is

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $20 \ kg$ and $5 \ kg$ respectively are at rest. Due to the action of a force of $40 \ N$ separately,if the two bodies acquire equal kinetic energies in times $t_A$ and $t_B$ respectively,then $t_A: t_B=$

The quantities remaining constant in a general collision are
