$A$ body of mass $2.9 \, kg$ is suspended from a string of length $2.5 \, m$ and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $100 \, g$ strikes the block horizontally with velocity $150 \, m/s$ and sticks to it. What is the maximum angle made by the string with the vertical after the impact? (Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ bullet of mass $m_1$ is moving with speed $v_0$ and hits a sand bag of mass $m_2$. If the speed of the bullet after passing through the sand bag is $\frac{v_0}{3}$,then the height $h$ up to which the bag rises is (assume,$g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

On complete combustion,a litre of petrol releases heat equivalent to $3 \times 10^7 \, J$. In a test drive,a car weighing $1200 \, kg$ (including the driver) travels $15 \, km$ per litre while moving at a uniform speed on a straight track. Assuming that the friction offered by the road surface and air is uniform,calculate the force of friction acting on the car during the test drive,given that the efficiency of the car engine is $0.5$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $V_0$ strikes a simple pendulum of mass $m$ and sticks to it. The maximum height attained by the pendulum will be

$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \ m$ has a bob of mass $1 \ kg$. $A$ bullet of mass $10^{-2} \ kg$ is fired into the bob with a speed of $2 \times 10^2 \ m/s$. The bullet gets embedded in the bob. Find the height $h$ to which the bob rises before it swings back. (in $m$)
