$A$ body of mass $M$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a sand floor. If the body penetrates $x$ cm into the sand,then the average resistance offered by the sand to the body is

Two spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively collide with each other. Initially, $S_1$ is at rest and $S_2$ is moving with velocity $v$ along the $x$-axis. After the collision, $S_2$ has a velocity $\frac{v}{2}$ in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The sphere $S_1$ moves after the collision:

$A$ constant force of $5 N$ accelerates a stationary particle of mass $500 g$ through a displacement of $5 m$. The average power delivered is: (in $W$)

$A$ raindrop of mass $1.00 \, g$ falling from a height of $1 \, km$ hits the ground with a speed of $50 \, m s^{-1}$. Calculate
$(a)$ the loss of $PE$ of the drop
$(b)$ the gain in $KE$ of the drop
$(c)$ Is the gain in $KE$ equal to loss of $PE$? If not,why?
Take $g = 10 \, m s^{-2}$.

$A$ ball of mass $0.2 \ kg$ is thrown vertically upwards by applying a force by hand. If the hand moves $0.2 \ m$ while applying the force and the ball goes up to $2 \ m$ height further,find the magnitude of the force $F$ in $N$. (Consider $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the situation when the particle starts moving downward.
