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
    $20$
  • B
    $-20$
  • C
    $0$
  • D

$A$ 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 ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Suppose the particle,when it reaches the horizontal surface again,has a velocity $v_1$ with respect to the ground,and the wedge has a velocity $v_2$. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

$A$ particle is projected vertically upwards with a speed of $16 \ m/s$. After some time,when it again passes through the point of projection,its speed is found to be $8 \ m/s$. It is known that the work done by air resistance is the same during upward and downward motion. Then the maximum height attained by the particle is ...................... $m$ $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
