$A$ block of mass $100\, g$ slides on a rough horizontal surface. If the speed of the block decreases from $10\, m/s$ to $5\, m/s,$ the thermal energy developed in the process is............. $J$.

Potential energy of a body of mass $1 \ kg$ free to move along $X$-axis is given by $U(x) = (\frac{x^2}{2} - x) \ J$. If the total mechanical energy of the body is $2 \ J$,then the maximum speed of the body is (Assume only conservative force acts on the body).

$A$ toy gun fires a plastic pellet with a mass of $0.5\ g$. The pellet is propelled by a spring with a spring constant of $1.25\ N/cm$, which is compressed $2.0\ cm$ before firing. The plastic pellet travels horizontally $10\ cm$ down the barrel (from its compressed position) with a constant friction force of $0.0475\ N$. What is the speed (in $SI\ units$) of the bullet as it emerges from the barrel?

$A$ balloon filled with helium rises against gravity,increasing its potential energy. The speed of the balloon also increases as it rises. How do you reconcile this with the law of conservation of mechanical energy? You can neglect viscous drag of air and assume that the density of air is constant.

What is the velocity of the bob when it reaches point $B$ in $m/s$?

Three particles $A, B$, and $C$ are thrown from the top of a tower with the same speed $u$. Particle $A$ is thrown upwards, $B$ is thrown downwards, and $C$ is thrown horizontally. If they hit the ground with speeds $V_A, V_B$, and $V_C$ respectively, then:
