$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The maximum height $h$ attained by the particle is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
According to the observer $A$:

$A$ light inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure connects two blocks of masses $m_1 = 0.36 \text{ kg}$ and $m_2 = 0.72 \text{ kg}$. Taking $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$,find the work done (in joules) by the string on the block of mass $0.36 \text{ kg}$ during the first second after the system is released from rest.

$A$ block of mass $m = 0.1\,kg$ is connected to a spring of unknown spring constant $k.$ It is compressed to a distance $x$ from its equilibrium position and released from rest. After approaching half the distance $(\frac{x}{2})$ from the equilibrium position,it hits another block and comes to rest momentarily,while the other block moves with a velocity $3\,m/s.$ The total initial energy of the spring is ................ $J$.

The potential energy in joules of a particle of mass $1\, kg$ moving in a plane is given by $U = 3x + 4y$,where the position coordinates $x$ and $y$ are measured in metres. If the particle is initially at rest at $(6, 4)$,then:
