$A$ ball of mass $0.2 \,kg$ is thrown vertically down from a height of $10 \,m$. It collides with the floor and loses $50 \%$ of its energy and then rises back to the same height. The value of its initial velocity is

Fill in the blanks:
$(a)$ When an object is lifted from the ground to a certain height,the work done against the gravitational force is ......
$(b)$ When the work done is zero,the speed of the object remains ..........
$(c)$ For a .......... collision,the coefficient of restitution is $1$.

$A$ spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 \,N \,m^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 \,kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially, the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 \,kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 \,kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is. . . .

$A$ curved surface is shown in the figure. The portion $BCD$ is free of friction. There are three spherical balls of identical radii and masses. Balls are released from rest one by one from $A$,which is at a slightly greater height than $C$.
With the surface $AB$,ball $1$ has large enough friction to cause rolling down without slipping; ball $2$ has a small friction and ball $3$ has a negligible friction.
$(a)$ For which balls is total mechanical energy conserved?
$(b)$ Which ball$(s)$ can reach $D$?
$(c)$ For balls which do not reach $D$,which of the balls can reach back $A$?

$A$ ball is released from a certain height. It loses $50\%$ of its kinetic energy on striking the ground. It will attain a height again equal to

$A$ bullet of mass $0.02 \ kg$ travelling horizontally with velocity $250 \ ms^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.23 \ kg$ which rests on a rough horizontal surface. After the impact,the block and bullet move together and come to rest after travelling a distance of $40 \ m$. The coefficient of sliding friction of the rough surface is $\left(g=9.8 \ ms^{-2}\right)$
