$A$ 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 $h$.

$A$ machine which is $75\%$ efficient, uses $12 \, J$ of energy in lifting up a $1 \, kg$ mass through a certain distance. The mass is then allowed to fall through that distance. The velocity at the end of its fall is (in $m \, s^{-1}$):

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Then,the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is:

An athlete throws a shotput of mass $25 \,kg$ with an initial speed of $4 \,ms^{-1}$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal from a height of $2 \,m$ above the ground. Assuming air resistance to be negligible,the kinetic energy of the shotput when it just touches the ground is . . . . . . $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,J$)

$A$ particle is moving in a circle of radius $r$ under the action of a force $F = \alpha r^2$ which is directed towards the centre of the circle. The total mechanical energy (kinetic energy + potential energy) of the particle is (take potential energy $= 0$ for $r = 0$).

Underline the correct alternative:
$(a)$ When a conservative force does positive work on a body,the potential energy of the body increases/decreases/remains unaltered.
$(b)$ Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.
$(c)$ The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision of two bodies,the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/total energy of the system of two bodies.
