$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \,m$ has a wooden bob of mass $M = 1 \,kg$. It is struck by a bullet of mass $m = 10^{-2} \,kg$ moving with a speed of $u = 2 \times 10^2 \,m/s$. The bullet gets embedded into the bob. The height to which the bob rises before swinging back is (use $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are throwing a ball of mass $200 \ g$ at a wall as shown in the figure. The balls strike the wall perpendicularly at the same point at a height of $2 \ m$ from the ground. The balls strike the wall elastically at the same time and return back to $A$ and $B$ at the same time. They repeat this process. What is the average force exerted on the wall (in $N$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

In the case of circular motion of a body,if a tangential force also acts on the body in addition to a centripetal force,then the work done:

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

$A$ bullet of mass $4\,g$ is fired horizontally with a speed of $300\,m/s$ into a $0.8\,kg$ block of wood at rest on a table. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $0.3$,how far will the block slide approximately (in $,m$)?
