$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \ m$ has a bob of mass $1 \ kg$. $A$ bullet of mass $10^{-2} \ kg$ is fired into the bob with a speed of $2 \times 10^2 \ m/s$. The bullet gets embedded in the bob. Find the height $h$ to which the bob rises before it swings back. (in $m$)

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height $h = 4.9\, m$ on a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic. Which one of the following graphs represents the velocity as a function of time and the height as a function of time?

Two particles $P$ and $Q$ each of mass $3m$ lie at rest on the $X$-axis at points $(-a, 0)$ and $(+a, 0)$,respectively. $A$ third particle $R$ of mass $2m$ initially at the origin moves towards the particle $Q$ with velocity $v$. If all the collisions of the system of $3$ particles are elastic and head-on,the total number of collisions in the system is

$A$ bullet loses $\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)^{th}$ of its velocity while passing through one plank. The number of such planks required to stop the bullet is:

$A$ spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 \,N \,m^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 \,kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially, the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 \,kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 \,kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is. . . .

$A$ tennis ball is dropped on a horizontal smooth surface. It bounces back to its original position after hitting the surface. The force on the ball during the collision is proportional to the length of compression of the ball. Which one of the following sketches describes the variation of its kinetic energy $K$ with time $t$ most appropriately? The figures are only illustrative and not to the scale.
