(N/A) Perfectly inelastic collision: When two oppositely charged objects collide and stick together due to electrostatic attraction.
$(b)$ Inelastic collision: Large macroscopic objects typically undergo deformation and energy loss during collision.
$(c)$ Perfectly elastic collision: Quartz balls are highly elastic materials,and their collision involves negligible loss of kinetic energy.

$A$ bead of mass $m$ slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring of constant $k$ attached to the bottom of the hoop. The natural (equilibrium) length of the spring is $R$. If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with negligible initial speed,what is the velocity of the bead when the length of the spring becomes $R$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)

Two balls,having linear momenta $\vec{p}_1 = p \hat{i}$ and $\vec{p}_2 = -p \hat{i}$,undergo a collision in free space. There is no external force acting on the balls.

$(A)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j}$
$(B)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = c_2 \hat{k}$

$(D)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j}$

$A$ $2 \ kg$ block slides on a horizontal surface at a speed of $4 \ m/s$ and strikes an uncompressed spring. The kinetic friction force is $15 \ N$ and the spring constant is $10,000 \ N/m$. By how many $cm$ will the spring be compressed?
