Answer carefully,with reasons:
$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,is the total kinetic energy conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e.,when they are in contact)?
$(b)$ Is the total linear momentum conserved during the short time of an elastic collision of two balls?
$(c)$ What are the answers to $(a)$ and $(b)$ for an inelastic collision?
$(d)$ If the potential energy of two billiard balls depends only on the separation distance between their centres,is the collision elastic or inelastic?
(Note: We are talking here of potential energy corresponding to the force during collision,not gravitational potential energy.)

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are kept as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$,$B$ and $C$ is $0.1$,and $C$ and the ground is $0.0$. The masses of $A, B$ and $C$ are $3\, kg, 2\, kg$ and $1\, kg$ respectively. $A$ is given a horizontal velocity of $10\, m/s$. Blocks $A, B$ and $C$ always remain in contact and move together as a single system. The total work done by friction will be ........ $J$.

$A$ 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?

Two identical balls of mass $2 \ kg$ are moving towards each other with a velocity of $5 \ m/s$. They collide and come to rest after the collision. What is the work done by the internal forces in $J$?

$A$ machine which is $70 \%$ efficient raises a $10 \,kg$ body through a certain distance and spends $100 \,J$ energy. The body is then released. On reaching the ground, the kinetic energy of the body will be

$A$ small block of mass $M$ moves on a frictionless surface of an inclined plane,as shown in the figure. The angle of the incline suddenly changes from $60^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$ at point $B$. The block is initially at rest at $A$. Assume that collisions between the block and the incline are totally inelastic $\left(g=10 \ m/s^2\right)$.
$1.$ The speed of the block at point $B$ immediately after it strikes the second incline is
$(A) \sqrt{60} \ m/s$ $(B) \sqrt{45} \ m/s$ $(C) \sqrt{30} \ m/s$ $(D) \sqrt{15} \ m/s$
$2.$ The speed of the block at point $C$,immediately before it leaves the second incline is
$(A) \sqrt{120} \ m/s$ $(B) \sqrt{105} \ m/s$ $(C) \sqrt{90} \ m/s$ $(D) \sqrt{75} \ m/s$
$3.$ If the collision between the block and the incline is completely elastic,then the vertical (upward) component of the velocity of the block at point $B$,immediately after it strikes the second incline is
$(A) \sqrt{30} \ m/s$ $(B) \sqrt{15} \ m/s$ $(C) 0$ $(D) -\sqrt{15} \ m/s$
Give the answers for questions $1, 2,$ and $3.$
