$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $H$,calculate the value of $H$.

$A$ bullet of mass $25 \,g$ moving horizontally at a speed of $250 \,m/s$ is fired into a wooden block of mass $1 \,kg$ suspended by a long string. The bullet crosses the block and emerges on the other side. If the centre of mass of the block rises through a height of $20 \,cm$, find the speed of the bullet as it emerges from the block. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m/s$)

$A$ 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:

$A$ mass of $1 \; kg$ collides elastically with a stationary mass of $5 \; kg$. After the collision,the $1 \; kg$ mass moves in the opposite direction with a velocity of $2 \; ms^{-1}$. Which of the following statements is correct for this system of two masses?

$A$ target is made of two plates,one of wood and the other of iron. The thickness of the wooden plate is $4\,cm$ and that of the iron plate is $2\,cm$. $A$ bullet fired goes through the wood first and then penetrates $1\,cm$ into the iron. $A$ similar bullet fired with the same velocity from the opposite direction goes through the iron first and then penetrates $2\,cm$ into the wood. If $a_1$ and $a_2$ are the retardations offered to the bullet by the wood and iron plates respectively,then:
