$A$ ball of mass $m$ suspended from a rigid support by an inextensible massless string is released from a height $h$ above its lowest point. At its lowest point, it collides elastically with a block of mass $2m$ at rest on a frictionless surface. Neglect the dimensions of the ball and the block. After the collision, the ball rises to a maximum height of

The rebound coefficient between a tennis ball and a racket is defined as $e = v_2/v_1$,where $v_1$ is the incoming speed of the ball and $v_2$ is the speed of the ball after rebound while the racket is at rest. $A$ tennis ball falls from height $H$ to a racket at rest and bounces back to $0.8 H$. $A$ tennis player is using the racket to hit an incoming tennis ball traveling at $150 \ km/hr$ and the racket is moving at $100 \ km/hr$ towards the ball. What is the speed of the ball after being hit? (Assume the mass of the racket $\gg$ that of the ball).

$A$ neutron moving with velocity $u$ collides elastically with an atom of mass number $A$. If the collision is head-on and the initial kinetic energy of the neutron is $E$, then the final kinetic energy of the neutron after the collision is:
