Consider two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_1 = 10 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 5 \ kg$ that are placed on a frictionless table. The block $A$ moves with a constant speed $v = 3 \ m/s$ towards the block $B$ kept at rest. $A$ spring with spring constant $k = 3000 \ N/m$ is attached to the block $B$ as shown in the figure. After the collision,suppose that the blocks $A$ and $B$,along with the spring in a constant compression state,move together. Then the compression in the spring is (neglect the mass of the spring). (in $m$)

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Then,the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is:

Two wooden blocks of mass $M_1$ and $M_2$ rest on a frictionless table. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired at $M_1$ with speed $v$,which gets embedded in it,and the two together finally collide with $M_2$. Find the velocity of $M_2$ after the collision. (Assume the collision between the $(M_1+m)$ system and $M_2$ is elastic and treat the problem as one-dimensional.)

It is well known that a raindrop falls under the influence of the downward gravitational force and the opposing resistive force. The latter is known to be proportional to the speed of the drop but is otherwise undetermined. Consider a drop of mass $1.00 \; g$ falling from a height $1.00 \; km$. It hits the ground with a speed of $50.0 \; m s^{-1}$. $(a)$ What is the work done by the gravitational force? $(b)$ What is the work done by the unknown resistive force?

$A$ machine which is $70 \%$ efficient raises a $10 \,kg$ body through a certain distance and spends $100 \,J$ energy. The body is then released. On reaching the ground, the kinetic energy of the body will be

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The maximum height $h$ attained by the particle is:
