$A$ simple pendulum of length $L = \frac{10}{3} \text{ m}$ with a bob of mass $M = 3m$ is hanging freely from a rigid support. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired with a velocity $u = 50 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ from the ground at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. When the bullet is at its highest point of its trajectory,it collides head-on with the bob of the pendulum and gets embedded in the bob. After collision,if the pendulum moves through a maximum angle of $120^{\circ}$,then the value of $\theta$ is $(g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$.

$A$ $2 \ kg$ block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of $4 \ m/s$. It strikes an uncompressed spring and compresses it until the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is $15 \ N$ and the spring constant is $10,000 \ N/m$. The spring compresses by ............. $cm$.

Two spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively collide with each other. Initially, $S_1$ is at rest and $S_2$ is moving with velocity $v$ along the $x$-axis. After the collision, $S_2$ has a velocity $\frac{v}{2}$ in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The sphere $S_1$ moves after the collision:

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
According to observer $B$,the potential energy of the spring increases:

$A$ force of $10 \ N$ acting at an angle on a particle produces a displacement of $(3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{\jmath}) \ m$. Due to this force,if the kinetic energy of the particle is decreased by $25 \ J$,then the angle between the force and the displacement is:
