$A$ body of mass $5\,kg$ rests on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.2$. The body is pulled through a distance of $10\,m$ by a horizontal force of $25\,N$. The kinetic energy acquired by it is ......... $J$.

$A$ spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 \ N \ m^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 \ kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially,the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 \ kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 \ kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance,in metres,between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is . . . . .
