$A$ bob of a pendulum of length $0.5 \ m$ has a speed of $6 \ ms^{-1}$ at its lowest point. Find the speed of the bob when the string of the pendulum makes $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. (Take $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$)

Consider an elliptically shaped rail $PQ$ in the vertical plane with $OP = 3 \ m$ and $OQ = 4 \ m$. $A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is pulled along the rail from $P$ to $Q$ with a force of $18 \ N$,which is always parallel to the line $PQ$ (see the figure). Assuming no frictional losses,the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches $Q$ is $(n \times 10) \ J$. The value of $n$ is (take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

$A$ vertical spring with force constant $k$ is fixed on a table. $A$ ball of mass $m$ at a height $h$ above the free upper end of the spring falls vertically on the spring so that the spring is compressed by a distance $d$. The net work done in the process is

$A$ body of mass $2 \, kg$ slides down a curved track which is a quadrant of a circle of radius $1 \, m$ as shown in the figure. All the surfaces are frictionless. If the body starts from rest,its speed at the bottom of the track is ............. $m/s$.

$A$ car and a truck are moving with the same kinetic energy. If the same retarding force is applied to both by using brakes,what will be the distance traveled by both vehicles before coming to rest?

$A$ light rod of length $L$ is pivoted at its upper end. Two masses (each of mass $m$) are attached to the rod,one at its midpoint and the other at its free end. What horizontal velocity must be imparted to the lower end so that the rod reaches the horizontal position?
