$A$ bullet of mass $20 \, g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500 \, m/s$ passes through a wooden block of mass $10.0 \, kg$ initially at rest on a surface. The bullet emerges with a speed of $100 \, m/s$ and the block slides $20 \, cm$ on the surface before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$

The mass of a hydrogen molecule is $3.32 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$. If $10^{23}$ hydrogen molecules strike,per second,a fixed wall of area $2 \ cm^2$ at an angle of $45^\circ$ to the normal,and rebound elastically with a speed of $10^3 \ m/s$,then the pressure on the wall is nearly:

$A$ block of mass $0.18 \ kg$ is attached to a spring of force-constant $2 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is $0.1$. Initially,the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of $0.06 \ m$ and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in $m/s$ is $v = N/10$. Then $N$ is:
