$A$ ball of mass $m$ falls vertically from a height $h$ and collides with a block of equal mass $m$ moving horizontally with a velocity $v$ on a surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is $0.2$,while the coefficient of restitution $e$ between the ball and the block is $0.5$. There is no friction acting between the ball and the block. The velocity of the block decreases by:

$A$ bead of mass $m$ slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring of constant $k$ attached to the bottom of the hoop. The natural (equilibrium) length of the spring is $R$. If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with negligible initial speed,what is the velocity of the bead when the length of the spring becomes $R$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
