$A$ ball is dropped from a height of $5\,m$ onto a sandy floor and penetrates the sand up to $1\,m$ before coming to rest. The retardation of the ball in sand (assuming it to be uniform) will be ................ $m/s^2$.

$A$ body of mass $m$ is dropped from a height of $h$. Simultaneously,another body of mass $2m$ is thrown vertically upward with such a velocity $v$ that they collide at a height $h/2$. If the collision is perfectly inelastic,the velocity at the time of collision with the ground will be:

$A$ $0.5\, kg$ ball is thrown up with an initial speed $14\, m/s$ and reaches a maximum height of $8.0\, m$. How much energy is dissipated by air drag acting on the ball during the ascent? (Take $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$)

Match the items in Column-$I$ with Column-$II$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(1)$ Work done is zero	$(a)$ By gravitational force (when body moves down)
$(2)$ Work done is positive	$(b)$ Against gravitational force (when body moves up)
$(3)$ Work done is negative	$(c)$ By centripetal force

$A$ ball of mass $m = 60 \text{ g}$ is shot with speed $v_0 = 22 \text{ m/s}$ into the barrel of a spring gun of mass $M = 240 \text{ g}$ initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is now stored in the spring?

$A$ bullet of mass $0.02 \ kg$ travelling horizontally with velocity $250 \ ms^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.23 \ kg$ which rests on a rough horizontal surface. After the impact,the block and bullet move together and come to rest after travelling a distance of $40 \ m$. The coefficient of sliding friction of the rough surface is $\left(g=9.8 \ ms^{-2}\right)$
