(N/A) $(1)$ Heat Energy:
The frictional force is a non-conservative force. When a block of mass $m$ slides on a rough horizontal surface with speed $v_{0}$,it comes to a halt over a distance $x_{0}$. The work done by the force of kinetic friction $f$ over $x_{0}$ is $-f x_{0}$. By the work-energy theorem,$\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2} = f x_{0}$. The kinetic energy is converted into internal energy,increasing the temperature of the block and the surface. For example,rubbing palms generates heat.
$(2)$ Chemical Energy:
Chemical energy arises from the different binding energies of molecules participating in a chemical reaction. $A$ stable compound has less energy than its separated components. If the total energy of reactants is greater than that of products,heat is released (exothermic reaction). If it is less,heat is absorbed (endothermic reaction). This energy is associated with the electromagnetic forces that bind atoms into molecules.
$(3)$ Electrical Energy:
Electrical energy is associated with the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is defined as the product of electric potential and electric charge. It is essential for modern daily life,powering household appliances.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a speed $u$ from the ground at an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ w.r.t. horizontal ($x$-axis). When it has reached its maximum height,it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $u \hat{i}$. The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is

On complete combustion,a litre of petrol releases heat equivalent to $3 \times 10^7 \, J$. In a test drive,a car weighing $1200 \, kg$ (including the driver) travels $15 \, km$ per litre while moving at a uniform speed on a straight track. Assuming that the friction offered by the road surface and air is uniform,calculate the force of friction acting on the car during the test drive,given that the efficiency of the car engine is $0.5$.

It is well known that a raindrop falls under the influence of the downward gravitational force and the opposing resistive force. The latter is known to be proportional to the speed of the drop but is otherwise undetermined. Consider a drop of mass $1.00 \; g$ falling from a height $1.00 \; km$. It hits the ground with a speed of $50.0 \; m s^{-1}$. $(a)$ What is the work done by the gravitational force? $(b)$ What is the work done by the unknown resistive force?

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:

$A$ 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 unstretched. The block is pushed as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of $0.06 \ m$ and comes to rest. If the initial velocity of the block is $V = N/10 \ m/s$,then what is the value of $N$?
