$A$ $10 \,g$ bullet moving at $200 \,m/s$ stops after penetrating $5 \,cm$ of a wooden plank. The average force exerted on the bullet will be .......... $N$.

In the figure shown,all surfaces are frictionless,and the mass of the block is $m = 1\, kg$. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now,the wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of $a = 10\, m/s^2$ by applying a force on the wedge,such that the block does not slip on the wedge. Calculate the work done by the normal force in the ground frame on the block in $\sqrt{3}$ seconds. (Assume $\tan \theta = a/g = 1$,so $\theta = 45^\circ$)

One end of a spring of force constant $150 \text{ dyne cm}^{-1}$ is connected to a block of mass $0.2 \text{ kg}$ kept on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.3$. The other end of the spring is connected to a rigid support as shown in the figure and the spring is initially undeformed. The maximum velocity $v$ that can be given to the block so that it travels only in one direction is . . . . . . $\text{ms}^{-1}$. (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

$A$ pebble of mass $0.05 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble,$(a)$ during its upward motion,$(b)$ during its downward motion,$(c)$ at the highest point where it is momentarily at rest. Do your answers change if the pebble was thrown at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal direction? Ignore air resistance.

$A$ metallic block of mass $20 \ kg$ is dragged with a uniform velocity of $0.5 \ ms^{-1}$ on a horizontal table for $2.1 \ s$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is $0.10$. What will be the maximum possible rise in temperature of the metal block if the specific heat of the block is $0.1 \ cal \ g^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ (in $^{\circ} C$)? Assume $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and a uniform rise in temperature throughout the whole block. [Ignore absorption of heat by the table]

The driver of a car travelling at velocity $v$ suddenly sees a broad wall in front of him at a distance $d$. He should
