$A$ block of weight $10 \ N$ slides down a curved track $AB$ and then onto a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface is $0.20$. If the block starts sliding from a height of $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,calculate the distance $S$ it travels on the rough surface before coming to rest. [$g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$]

$A$ student skates up a ramp that makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed $v_0$ and wants to turn around over a semicircular path $xyz$ of radius $R$ during which he/she reaches a maximum height $h$ (at point $y$) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
$(A)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{1}{2} gR$
$(B)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} gR$

Consider a frictionless ramp on which a smooth object is made to slide down from an initial height $h$. The distance $d$ necessary to stop the object on a flat track (of coefficient of friction $\mu$),kept at the ramp end,is:

$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?

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?
