$A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $s$ on a horizontal platform fixed at the top of a vertical spring. The platform is depressed by a distance $h$. The spring constant is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity):

Two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a spring of spring constant $k$,initially at their natural length as shown. $A$ sharp impulse is given to mass $m_2$ so that it acquires a velocity $v_0$ towards the right. If the system is kept on a smooth floor,find the maximum elongation that the spring will suffer.

$A$ machine with efficiency $2/3$ uses $12 \text{ J}$ of energy to lift a $2 \text{ kg}$ block to a certain height. If the block is allowed to fall freely from that height,what is its velocity when it reaches the ground?

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ rests on a horizontal surface. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving in the horizontal direction strikes and gets embedded in it. The combined system covers a distance $x$ on the surface. If the coefficient of friction between the wood and the surface is $\mu$,the speed of the bullet at the time of striking the block is:

Two cars,both of mass $m$,collide and stick together. Prior to the collision,one car had been traveling north at speed $2v$,while the second was traveling at speed $v$ at an angle $\phi$ south of east (as indicated in the figure). The magnitude of the velocity of the two-car system immediately after the collision is:

For a collision between two particles,which of the following quantities is generally conserved?
