$A$ person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of $10 \ kg$ up to a height of $1 \ m$, $1000$ times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies $3.8 \times 10^7 \ J$ of energy per $kg$, which is converted to mechanical energy with a $20\%$ efficiency rate. Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of mass $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring of negligible mass. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ is placed on the floor. The body $C$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$. At a certain time after the collision,it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same and the compression of the spring is $x_0$. The spring constant $k$ will be

$A$ ball of mass $1 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $0.4 \ m/s$ collides with another ball of the same mass at rest. After the collision,the first ball moves with a velocity of $0.3 \ m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction. Find the magnitude of the momentum $\vec{P}$ of the second ball in $kg \cdot m/s$.
