$A$ block of mass $M$ placed inside a box descends vertically with acceleration $a$. The block exerts a force equal to one-fourth of its weight on the floor of the box. The value of $a$ will be .............

$A$ person is standing in an elevator. In which of the following situations does he find his weight to be less than his actual weight?

$A$ person in an elevator accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $2\,ms^{-2}$,tosses a coin vertically upwards with a speed of $20\,ms^{-1}$. After how much time will the coin fall back into his hand? (Take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ person in an elevator accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $2 \, m/s^2$ tosses a coin vertically upwards with a speed of $5 \, m/s$. After how much time will the coin fall back into his hand (in $s$)? $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
To an observer $B$,when the block is compressing the spring:

$A$ wooden wedge of mass $M$ and inclination angle $\alpha$ rests on a smooth floor. $A$ block of mass $m$ is kept on the wedge. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the wedge as shown in the figure such that the block remains stationary with respect to the wedge. The magnitude of the force $F$ is:
