$A$ mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a pendulum of mass $m$. If the two masses stick together after the collision,then the maximum height reached by the pendulum is

The sign of work done by a force on a body is important to understand. State carefully if the following quantities are positive or negative:
$(a)$ Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket.
$(b)$ Work done by gravitational force in the above case.
$(c)$ Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane.
$(d)$ Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity.
$(e)$ Work done by the resistive force of air on a vibrating pendulum in bringing it to rest.

$A$ man who is running has half the kinetic energy of a boy of half his mass. The man speeds up by $1 \, m/s$ and then has the same kinetic energy as the boy. The original speed of the man was:

Is it possible for the kinetic energy of an object not to increase when work is done on it? If so,when?

$A$ circular well of diameter $2 \ m$ has water up to the ground level. If the bottom of the well is at a depth of $14 \ m$,the time taken in seconds to empty the well using a $1.4 \ kW$ motor is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

The inclined surfaces of two movable wedges of same mass $M$ are smoothly conjugated with the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. $A$ washer of mass $m$ slides down the left wedge from a height $h$. To what maximum height will the washer rise along the right wedge? Neglect friction.
