$A$ ball of mass $1 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $0.4 \ m/s$ collides with another ball of the same mass at rest. After the collision,the first ball moves with a velocity of $0.3 \ m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction. Find the magnitude of the momentum $\vec{P}$ of the second ball in $kg \cdot m/s$.

An object of mass $M$ is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. Objects of different masses collide head-on elastically with the object of mass $M$. All colliding objects have the same fixed kinetic energy $E$,and in each case,mass $M$ is initially at rest. The kinetic energy transferred to the stationary mass $M$ depends on the linear momentum $P$ of the incoming colliding mass. How does the energy transferred to $M$ vary with the linear momentum $P$?

The potential energy in joules of a particle of mass $1\, kg$ moving in a plane is given by $U = 3x + 4y$,where the position coordinates $x$ and $y$ are measured in metres. If the particle is initially at rest at $(6, 4)$,then:

$A$ bob of mass $m$,suspended by a string of length $l_1$,is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane. At the highest point,it collides elastically with another bob of mass $m$ suspended by a string of length $l_2$,which is initially at rest. Both the strings are massless and inextensible. If the second bob,after collision,acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane,the ratio $\frac{l_1}{l_2}$ is

$A$ block of mass $m$ starts at rest at height $h$ on a frictionless inclined plane. The block slides down the plane,travels across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$,and compresses a spring with force constant $k$ a distance $x$ before momentarily coming to rest. Then the spring extends and the block travels back across the rough surface,sliding up the plane. The block travels a total distance $d$ on the rough horizontal surface. The correct expression for the maximum height $h'$ that the block reaches on its return is
