    $\frac{m}{M+m}$
  • B
    $\frac{M-m}{M+m}$

$A$ bullet of mass $0.01\, kg$ travelling at a speed of $500\, m/s$ strikes and passes horizontally through a block of mass $2\, kg$ which is suspended by a string of length $5\, m$. The centre 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? (The time of passing of the bullet is negligible,$g = 9.8\, m/s^2$)

$A$ body falls freely onto a hard horizontal surface. If the coefficient of restitution between the surface and the body is $e = 0.8$,then the ratio of the maximum height to which the body rises after the second impact to the initial height of the body is:

$A$ ball moving with a velocity $v$ collides head-on with a stationary second ball of the same mass. After the collision, the velocity of the first ball is reduced to $0.15 v$. The kinetic energy of the system is decreased nearly by (in $\%$)
