$A$ block of mass $1.9\, kg$ is at rest at the edge of a table of height $1\, m$. $A$ bullet of mass $0.1\, kg$ collides with the block and sticks to it. If the velocity of the bullet is $20\, m/s$ in the horizontal direction just before the collision,then the kinetic energy just before the combined system strikes the floor is $....J$. (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$. Assume there is no rotational motion and loss of energy after the collision is negligible.)

$A$ truck of mass $M$ and a car of mass $\frac{M}{10}$ moving with the same momentum are brought to a halt by the application of the same braking force. The ratio of the distances travelled by the truck and the car before they come to a stop is

As shown below, bob $A$ of a pendulum having a massless string of length $R$ is released from $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming an elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob $A$ after the collision will be (take $g$ as acceleration due to gravity):

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Then,the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is:
