$A$ small bucket of mass $M \, kg$ is attached to a non-extensible string of length $L \, m$. The bucket is released from rest when the string is in a horizontal position. At its lowest point,the bucket scoops up $m \, kg$ of water and rises to a height $h$. The height $h$ (in meters) is:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ truck and a car moving with the same kinetic energy are brought to rest by applying brakes which provide equal retarding forces. Both come to rest in equal distance.
Statement $II$: $A$ car moving towards the east takes a turn and moves towards the north, the speed remains unchanged. The acceleration of the car is zero.
In the light of the given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Two bodies of masses $m$ and $2m$ are attached to the two ends of an ideal spring. The spring is compressed. The total energy stored in the spring is $60 \ J$. If the spring is released,then:

$A$ body of mass $5\,kg$ rests on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.2$. The body is pulled through a distance of $10\,m$ by a horizontal force of $25\,N$. The kinetic energy acquired by it is ......... $J$.

In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically with a velocity $v_0$. It simultaneously hits the two balls. The smaller ball (top ball) does not stop after the collision but continues to move downwards with a speed $v_0/2$. Find the speed of each bigger ball after the collision.
