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

Write the similarity between various forms of energy.

$A$ ball is released from a certain height. It loses $50\%$ of its kinetic energy on striking the ground. It will attain a height again equal to

Two identical $5\,kg$ blocks are moving with the same speed of $2\,m/s$ towards each other along a frictionless horizontal surface. The two blocks collide,stick together,and come to rest. Considering the two blocks as a system,the work done on the system by the external forces will be ............. $Joule$.

$A$ bullet of mass $10 \,g$ is fired horizontally with a velocity $1000 \,ms^{-1}$ from a rifle situated at a height $50 \,m$ above the ground. If the bullet reaches the ground with a velocity $500 \,ms^{-1}$, the work done against air resistance in the trajectory of the bullet is : $(g=10 \,ms^{-2})$ (in $\,J$)

Underline the correct alternative:
$(a)$ When a conservative force does positive work on a body,the potential energy of the body increases/decreases/remains unaltered.
$(b)$ Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.
$(c)$ The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision of two bodies,the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/total energy of the system of two bodies.
