Blocks of masses $m, m, 2m, 4m$ and $8m$ are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass $m$,moving with speed $v$ along the same line (see figure) collides with the first mass $m$ in a perfectly inelastic manner. All the subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass $8m$ starts moving,the total energy loss is $p\%$ of the original energy. The value of $p$ is close to:

  • A
    $77$
  • B
    $37$
  • C
    $87$
  • D
    $94$

$A$ bullet of mass $0.012\;kg$ and horizontal speed $70\;m\;s^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.4\;kg$ and instantly comes to rest with respect to the block. The block is suspended from the ceiling by means of thin wires. Calculate the height to which the block rises. Also,estimate the amount of heat produced in the block.

$A$ block of mass $5 \ kg$ is lifted to a height of $5 \ m$ by a force of $60 \ N$. Find:
$(1)$ Work done by the force.
$(2)$ Potential energy of the block at $5 \ m$.
$(3)$ Kinetic energy of the block at $5 \ m$.
$(4)$ Velocity of the block at $5 \ m$. (Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ small block of mass $200 \ g$ is placed on a horizontal slab at a height of $2 \ m$ above the floor. The block is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $10.0 \ cm$. Upon releasing, the block moves horizontally until it leaves the spring. Calculate the horizontal distance covered by the block after leaving the slab and just before hitting the ground. The spring constant is $50 \ N \ m^{-1}$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m$)

$A$ pendulum of length $2 \; m$ consists of a wooden bob of mass $50 \; g$. $A$ bullet of mass $75 \; g$ is fired towards the stationary bob with a speed $v$. The bullet emerges out of the bob with a speed $\frac{v}{3}$ and the bob just completes the vertical circle. The value of $v$ is $\dots \; ms^{-1}$. (if $g = 10 \; m/s^2$)
