$A$ block of mass $m$ slides from rest at a height $H$ on a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. It travels a distance $d$ across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$ by a distance $x$ before coming to rest momentarily. Then the spring extends and the block travels back attaining a final height of $h$. Then,

Answer carefully,with reasons:
$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,is the total kinetic energy conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e.,when they are in contact)?
$(b)$ Is the total linear momentum conserved during the short time of an elastic collision of two balls?
$(c)$ What are the answers to $(a)$ and $(b)$ for an inelastic collision?
$(d)$ If the potential energy of two billiard balls depends only on the separation distance between their centres,is the collision elastic or inelastic?
(Note: We are talking here of potential energy corresponding to the force during collision,not gravitational potential energy.)

Which of the following statements is true for a collision?

$A$ body of mass $2 \,kg$ is moving with a constant acceleration of $(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \,ms^{-2}$. If the displacement made by the body is $(3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \,m$, then the work done is: (in $\,J$)

An engine pumps up $100 \ kg$ of water through a height of $10 \ m$ in $5 \ s$. Given that the efficiency of the engine is $60\%$. If $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$,the power of the engine is .............. $kW$.

$A$ and $B$ are blocks of same mass $m$ exactly equivalent to each other. Both are placed on a frictionless surface connected by a spring. The natural length of the spring is $L$ and the force constant is $K$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Another equivalent block $C$ of mass $m$ travelling at speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. In an ideal condition,the maximum compression of the spring is:
