To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a rough road having $\mu = 0.5$ and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?

$A$ pendulum of length $1 \,m$ and having a bob of mass $1 \,g$ is pulled aside through an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical and then released. The power delivered by all the forces acting on the bob when the pendulum makes $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical is . . . . . . $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,mW$)

$A$ body of mass $2 \,kg$ thrown vertically from the ground with a velocity of $8 \,ms^{-1}$ reaches a maximum height of $3 \,m$. The work done by the air resistance is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,J$)

$A$ ball is thrown vertically downwards from a height of $20 \, m$ with an initial velocity $v_0$. It collides with the ground,loses $50\%$ of its energy in the collision,and rebounds to the same height. The initial velocity $v_0$ is .................... $m/s$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
