$A$ particle is projected vertically upwards with a speed of $16 \ m/s$. After some time,when it again passes through the point of projection,its speed is found to be $8 \ m/s$. It is known that the work done by air resistance is the same during upward and downward motion. Then the maximum height attained by the particle is ...................... $m$ $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ bullet of mass $25 \,g$ moving horizontally at a speed of $250 \,m/s$ is fired into a wooden block of mass $1 \,kg$ suspended by a long string. The bullet crosses the block and emerges on the other side. If the centre of mass of the block rises through a height of $20 \,cm$, find the speed of the bullet as it emerges from the block. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m/s$)

The sign of work done by a force on a body is important to understand. State carefully if the following quantities are positive or negative:
$(a)$ Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket.
$(b)$ Work done by gravitational force in the above case.
$(c)$ Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane.
$(d)$ Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity.
$(e)$ Work done by the resistive force of air on a vibrating pendulum in bringing it to rest.

$A$ ball of mass $m = 60 \text{ g}$ is shot with speed $v_0 = 22 \text{ m/s}$ into the barrel of a spring gun of mass $M = 240 \text{ g}$ initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is now stored in the spring?

$A$ truck and a car are moving with equal velocity. On applying the brakes,both will stop after a certain distance. Which of the following is true?

$A$ ball is dropped from a height of $20 \, cm$. The ball rebounds to a height of $10 \, cm$. What is the percentage loss of energy? ................ $\%$
