$A$ $2 \ kg$ block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of $4 \ m/s$. It strikes an uncompressed spring and compresses it until the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is $15 \ N$ and the spring constant is $10,000 \ N/m$. The spring compresses by ............. $cm$.

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

An object of mass $M$ is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. Objects of different masses collide head-on elastically with the object of mass $M$. All colliding objects have the same fixed kinetic energy $E$,and in each case,mass $M$ is initially at rest. The kinetic energy transferred to the stationary mass $M$ depends on the linear momentum $P$ of the incoming colliding mass. How does the energy transferred to $M$ vary with the linear momentum $P$?

Two bodies moving towards each other collide and move away in opposite directions. There is some rise in temperature of bodies because a part of the kinetic energy is converted into

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a horizontal circle of radius $r$ under a centripetal force equal to $-K/r^2$,where $K$ is a constant. The total energy of the particle is

Two bodies of masses $0.1\, kg$ and $0.4\, kg$ move towards each other with the velocities $1\, m/s$ and $0.1\, m/s$ respectively. After collision they stick together. In $10\, s$,the combined mass travels ............ $m$.
