Consider two carts,of masses $m$ and $2m$,at rest on an air track. If you push both the carts for $3\,s$ exerting equal force on each,the kinetic energy of the light cart is

$A$ man of mass $80 \ kg$ goes to the market on a scooter of mass $100 \ kg$ with a certain speed. On application of brakes, the stopping distance is $S_1$. The man returns home on the same scooter, with the same speed with a $60 \ kg$ bag of rice. If $S_2$ is the new stopping distance when the brakes are applied with the same force, then:

$A$ block moving horizontally on a smooth surface with a speed of $40\, m/s$ splits into two parts with masses in the ratio of $1:2$. If the smaller part moves at $60\, m/s$ in the same direction,then the fractional change in kinetic energy is:

In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically with a velocity $v_0$. It simultaneously hits the two balls. The smaller ball (top ball) does not stop after the collision but continues to move downwards with a speed $v_0/2$. Find the speed of each bigger ball after the collision.
