$A$ hammer of mass $M$ strikes a nail of mass $m$ with a velocity $20 \ m/s$ into a fixed wall. The nail penetrates into the wall to a depth of $1 \ cm$. The average resistance of the wall to the penetration of the nail is

$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v \text{ m/s}$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed in $\text{m/s}$ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

$A$ machine which is $75\%$ efficient, uses $12 \, J$ of energy in lifting up a $1 \, kg$ mass through a certain distance. The mass is then allowed to fall through that distance. The velocity at the end of its fall is (in $m \, s^{-1}$):

Two massless strings of length $5\, m$ hang from the ceiling very near to each other as shown in the figure. Two balls $A$ and $B$ of masses $0.25\, kg$ and $0.5\, kg$ are attached to the strings. The ball $A$ is released from rest at a height of $0.45\, m$ as shown in the figure. The collision between the two balls is completely elastic. Immediately after the collision,the kinetic energy of ball $B$ is $1\, J$. The velocity of ball $A$ just after the collision is

$A$ man who is running has half the kinetic energy of a boy of half his mass. The man speeds up by $1 \, m/s$ and then has the same kinetic energy as the boy. The original speed of the man was:

$A$ ball of mass $m_1$ falls from height $h_1$ from rest to strike a spring of force constant $K$,which forces another ball of mass $m_2$ to jump on a horizontal floor at a height $h_2$ below it. Find the horizontal distance at which the ball of mass $m_2$ strikes the floor from the position of the start. [Assume the spring is fixed and the collision is elastic].
