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 $0.5$.

$A$ block of mass $m$ starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi-circular track from a height $h$ as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track,it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass $m$. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide,the maximum height that the block-putty system could reach is:

Work done by the frictional force is

Two cars,both of mass $m$,collide and stick together. Prior to the collision,one car had been traveling north at speed $2v$,while the second was traveling at speed $v$ at an angle $\phi$ south of east (as indicated in the figure). The magnitude of the velocity of the two-car system immediately after the collision is:

$A$ man of mass $60$ $kg$ wants to lose $5$ $kg$ of mass by climbing up and down stairs. Assume that twice the amount of fat is burned while climbing up compared to climbing down. If burning $1$ $kg$ of fat provides $7000$ $kcal$ of energy, how many times must he climb up and down the stairs to lose $5$ $kg$ of mass (in $times$)? (Assume the energy spent in climbing up is $20$ $kcal$ and climbing down is $10$ $kcal$ per trip).

$A$ body of mass $2 \, \text{kg}$ moving with a speed of $4 \, \text{m/s}$ makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one-fourth of its initial speed. The speed of the two-body centre of mass is $\frac{x}{10} \, \text{m/s}$. Then the value of $x$ is ..... .
