(N/A) The fundamental similarity between various forms of energy (such as kinetic energy,potential energy,thermal energy,etc.) is that they are all scalar quantities.
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work,and it is measured in the same unit,the Joule $(J)$,regardless of its form.
Furthermore,according to the Law of Conservation of Energy,energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another,meaning the total energy of an isolated system remains constant.

$A$ ball of mass $m$ falls vertically from a height $h$ and collides with a block of equal mass $m$ moving horizontally with a velocity $v$ on a surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is $0.2$,while the coefficient of restitution $e$ between the ball and the block is $0.5$. There is no friction acting between the ball and the block. The velocity of the block decreases by:

Starting from rest on her swing at initial height $h_0$ above the ground,Saina swings forward. At the lowest point of her motion,she grabs her bag that lies on the ground. Saina continues swinging forward to reach maximum height $h_1$. She then swings backward and when reaching the lowest point of motion again,she simply lets go of the bag,which falls freely. Saina's backward swing then reaches maximum height $h_2$. Neglecting air resistance,how are the three heights related?

If a lighter body (mass $M_1$ and velocity $V_1$) and a heavier body (mass $M_2$ and velocity $V_2$) have the same kinetic energy,then
