$A$ 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:

The friction coefficient between the horizontal surface and each of the blocks shown in the figure is $\mu = 0.2$. The collision between the blocks is perfectly elastic. What is the separation between the blocks when they come to rest? (in $cm$)

Write the similarity between various forms of energy.

$A$ bullet of mass $10\, g$ moving horizontally with a velocity of $400\, m s^{-1}$ strikes a wood block of mass $2\, kg$ which is suspended by a light inextensible string of length $5\, m$. As a result,the centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of $10\, cm$. The speed of the bullet after it emerges out horizontally from the block will be ................... $m s^{-1}$.

Consider two carts,of masses $m$ and $2m$,at rest on an air track. If you push both the carts for $3\,s$ exerting equal force on each,the kinetic energy of the light cart is

Two objects having masses in the ratio $1:4$ are at rest. When both of them are subjected to the same force separately,they achieve the same kinetic energy during times $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. Then the ratio of $t_1$ to $t_2$ is
