$A$ block weighing $20 \ N$ travels down a smooth curved track $AB$ joined to a rough horizontal surface (figure). The rough surface has a friction coefficient of $0.40$ with the block. If the block starts slipping on the track from a point $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,the distance it will move on the rough surface is: (in $m$)

$A$ block of mass $m$,lying on a smooth horizontal surface,is attached to a spring (of negligible mass) of spring constant $k$. The other end of the spring is fixed,as shown in the figure. The block is initially at rest in an equilibrium position. If now the block is pulled with a constant force $F$,the maximum speed of the block is

$A$ car driver is trying to jump across a path as shown in the figure by driving horizontally off a cliff '$X$' at a speed of $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$. When he touches peak '$Z$' (ignore air resistance), what would be his speed (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? (use $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

Potential energy of a body of mass $1 \ kg$ free to move along $X$-axis is given by $U(x) = (\frac{x^2}{2} - x) \ J$. If the total mechanical energy of the body is $2 \ J$,then the maximum speed of the body is (Assume only conservative force acts on the body).
