$A$ ball loses $15.0\%$ of its kinetic energy when it bounces back from a concrete wall. With what speed must you throw it vertically down from a height of $12.4\, m$ to have it bounce back to the same height (ignore air resistance)? ............. $m / s$

$A$ lift of mass $2000 \ kg$ starts from rest in the basement and moves to the fourth floor,which is at a height of $25 \ m$. As it passes the fourth floor,its speed is $3 \ ms^{-1}$. There is a constant frictional force of $500 \ N$ acting on it. Calculate the work done by the lift's motor in $kJ$.

$A$ train of mass $3 \times 10^6 \ kg$ is accelerated by an engine such that its velocity increases from $5 \ m/s$ to $25 \ m/s$ in $5 \ minutes$. The power of the engine is ........ $MW$.

To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a rough road having $\mu = 0.5$ and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?

Define elastic collision and inelastic collision.

$A$ $0.5 \, kg$ block moving at a speed of $12 \, ms^{-1}$ compresses a spring through a distance of $30 \, cm$ when its speed is halved. The spring constant of the spring in $N m^{-1}$ is:
