$A$ rigid ball of mass $m$ strikes a rigid wall at $60^\circ$ and gets reflected without loss of speed as shown in the figure. The value of impulse imparted by the wall on the ball will be

$A$ solid horizontal surface is covered with a thin layer of oil. $A$ rectangular block of mass $m = 0.4 \ kg$ is at rest on this surface. An impulse of $1.0 \ N \ s$ is applied to the block at time $t = 0$ so that it starts moving along the $x$-axis with a velocity $v(t) = v_0 e^{-t/\tau}$,where $v_0$ is a constant and $\tau = 4 \ s$. The displacement of the block,in metres,at $t = \tau$ is. . . . . . . Take $e^{-1} = 0.37$.

In projectile motion,two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ have velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively at time $t=0$. Their velocities become $\vec{V}_1^{\prime}$ and $\vec{V}_2^{\prime}$ at time $2t$ while still moving in air. The value of $[(m_1 \vec{V}_1^{\prime} + m_2 \vec{V}_2^{\prime}) - (m_1 \vec{V}_1 + m_2 \vec{V}_2)]$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ time-varying force acts on a ball of mass $100 \ g$ for $2 \ ms$. The force versus time curve is shown below. If the initial speed of the ball is $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$,then the speed of the ball after $2 \ ms$ is: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)
