$A$ ball is thrown vertically down from a height of $40 \,m$ from the ground with an initial velocity $v$. The ball hits the ground, loses $\frac{1}{3}$ of its total mechanical energy, and rebounds back to the same height. If the acceleration due to gravity is $10 \,m/s^2$, then the value of $v$ is (in $\,m/s$)

In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically and has a velocity $v_0$ when it simultaneously hits the two balls and comes to rest. Then,each of the two bigger balls will move after the collision with a speed equal to:

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

$A$ and $B$ are blocks of same mass $m$ exactly equivalent to each other. Both are placed on a frictionless surface connected by a spring. The natural length of the spring is $L$ and the force constant is $K$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Another equivalent block $C$ of mass $m$ travelling at speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. In an ideal condition,the maximum compression of the spring is:

$A$ ball is released from the top of a tower. The ratio of work done by the force of gravity in the first,second,and third second of the motion of the ball is:

Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$, each of mass $m$, resting on a smooth floor, are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $k$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is proportional to
