$A$ bullet of mass $4\,g$ is fired horizontally with a speed of $300\,m/s$ into a $0.8\,kg$ block of wood at rest on a table. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $0.3$,how far will the block slide approximately (in $,m$)?

Can the kinetic energy of an object be negative? Can the potential energy be negative?

Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$, each of mass $m$, resting on a smooth floor, are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $k$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is proportional to

Two rectangular blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $2 \,kg$ and $3 \,kg$ respectively are connected by a spring of spring constant $10.8 \,Nm^{-1}$ and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block $A$ is given an initial velocity of $0.15 \,ms^{-1}$ in the direction shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring during the motion is (in $\,m$)

An object of mass $M$ is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. Objects of different masses collide head-on elastically with the object of mass $M$. All colliding objects have the same fixed kinetic energy $E$,and in each case,mass $M$ is initially at rest. The kinetic energy transferred to the stationary mass $M$ depends on the linear momentum $P$ of the incoming colliding mass. How does the energy transferred to $M$ vary with the linear momentum $P$?

An open knife edge of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a wooden floor. If the blade penetrates up to the depth $d$ into the wood,the average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is
