Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are kept as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$,$B$ and $C$ is $0.1$,and $C$ and the ground is $0.0$. The masses of $A, B$ and $C$ are $3\, kg, 2\, kg$ and $1\, kg$ respectively. $A$ is given a horizontal velocity of $10\, m/s$. Blocks $A, B$ and $C$ always remain in contact and move together as a single system. The total work done by friction will be ........ $J$.

$A$ ball of mass $m = 60 \text{ g}$ is shot with speed $v_0 = 22 \text{ m/s}$ into the barrel of a spring gun of mass $M = 240 \text{ g}$ initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is now stored in the spring?

$A$ particle of unit mass is moving along the $x$-axis under the influence of a force and its total energy is conserved. Four possible forms of the potential energy of the particle are given in column $I$ ($a$ and $U_0$ are constants). Match the potential energies in column $I$ to the corresponding statement$(s)$ in column $II$.
Column $I$ Column $II$
$(A) U_1(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left[1 - \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2\right]^2$ $(P)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = a$.
$(B) U_2(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2$ $(Q)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = 0$.
$(C) U_3(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2 \exp \left[-\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2\right]$ $(R)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = -a$.
$(D) U_4(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left[\frac{x}{a} - \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^3\right]$ $(S)$ The particle experiences an attractive force towards $x = 0$ in the region $|x| < a$.

As shown below, bob $A$ of a pendulum having a massless string of length $R$ is released from $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming an elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob $A$ after the collision will be (take $g$ as acceleration due to gravity):

Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,resting on a smooth floor,are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is:
