$A$ truck and a car are moving with equal velocity. On applying the brakes,both will stop after a certain distance. Which of the following is true?

$A$ bullet of mass $0.01 \, kg$ travelling at a speed of $500 \, m/s$ strikes a block of mass $2 \, kg$ which is suspended by a string of length $5 \, m$. The center of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of $0.1 \, m$. What is the speed of the bullet after it emerges from the block?

Two identical $5\,kg$ blocks are moving with the same speed of $2\,m/s$ towards each other along a frictionless horizontal surface. The two blocks collide,stick together,and come to rest. Considering the two blocks as a system,the work done on the system by the external forces will be ............. $Joule$.

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $h$,calculate the value of $h$.

State if each of the following statements is true or false. Give reasons for your answer.
$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two bodies,the momentum and energy of each body is conserved.
$(b)$ Total energy of a system is always conserved,no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present.
$(c)$ Work done in the motion of a body over a closed loop is zero for every force in nature.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision,the final kinetic energy is always less than the initial kinetic energy of the system.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of mass $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring of negligible mass. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ is placed on the floor. The body $C$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$. At a certain time after the collision,it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same and the compression of the spring is $x_0$. The spring constant $k$ will be
