$A$ body of mass $2 \, \text{kg}$ moving with a speed of $4 \, \text{m/s}$ makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one-fourth of its initial speed. The speed of the two-body centre of mass is $\frac{x}{10} \, \text{m/s}$. Then the value of $x$ is ..... .

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $h$,calculate the value of $h$.

Write the similarity between various forms of energy.

Two massless strings of length $5\, m$ hang from the ceiling very near to each other as shown in the figure. Two balls $A$ and $B$ of masses $0.25\, kg$ and $0.5\, kg$ are attached to the strings. The ball $A$ is released from rest at a height of $0.45\, m$ as shown in the figure. The collision between the two balls is completely elastic. Immediately after the collision,the kinetic energy of ball $B$ is $1\, J$. The velocity of ball $A$ just after the collision is

An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object to its initial position along the same path would be:

State if each of the following statements is true or false. Give reasons for your answer.
$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two bodies,the momentum and energy of each body is conserved.
$(b)$ Total energy of a system is always conserved,no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present.
$(c)$ Work done in the motion of a body over a closed loop is zero for every force in nature.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision,the final kinetic energy is always less than the initial kinetic energy of the system.
