$A$ motor engine pumps $1800 \,L$ of water per minute from a well of depth $30 \,m$ and allows it to pass through a pipe of cross-sectional area $30 \,cm^2$. Then the power of the engine is (Acceleration due to gravity,$g=10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,kW$)

By how much should the spring be compressed by the block so that the centripetal force at point $P$ is $mg$?

Statement $-1$: Two particles moving in the same direction do not lose all their energy in a completely inelastic collision.
Statement $-2$: Principle of conservation of momentum holds true for all kinds of collisions.

Answer the following:
$(a)$ The casing of a rocket in flight burns up due to friction. At whose expense is the heat energy required for burning obtained? The rocket or the atmosphere?
$(b)$ Comets move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. The gravitational force on the comet due to the sun is not normal to the comet's velocity in general. Yet the work done by the gravitational force over every complete orbit of the comet is zero. Why?
$(c)$ An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in a very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance,however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth?
$(d)$ In Figure $(i)$ the man walks $2\; m$ carrying a mass of $15\; kg$ on his hands. In Figure $(ii)$,he walks the same distance pulling the rope behind him. The rope goes over a pulley,and a mass of $15\; kg$ hangs at its other end. In which case is the work done greater?

Two beads $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively are placed on a smooth vertical circular wire of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. Bead $A$ is given a very gentle push so that it slides down and collides with bead $B$ and comes to rest. After the collision,bead $B$ reaches the height of the center of the circle. Then $m_1 : m_2$ is equal to:

$A$ ball falls freely from rest on to a hard horizontal floor and repeatedly bounces. If the velocity of the ball just before the first bounce is $7 \text{ m/s}$ and the coefficient of restitution is $0.75$. The total distance travelled by the ball before it comes to rest is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $\text{ m}$)
