$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v \text{ m/s}$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed in $\text{m/s}$ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

Which physical quantity is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions?

To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a rough road having $\mu = 0.5$ and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?

$A$ ball is held in the position shown with a string of length $L = 1 \, m$ just taut and then projected horizontally with a velocity of $u = 3 \, m/s$. If the string becomes taut again when it is vertical,the angle $\theta$ is given by ........ $^o$.

$A$ bob of mass $m$,suspended by a string of length $l_1$,is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane. At the highest point,it collides elastically with another bob of mass $m$ suspended by a string of length $l_2$,which is initially at rest. Both the strings are massless and inextensible. If the second bob,after collision,acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane,the ratio $\frac{l_1}{l_2}$ is

Two bodies of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are acted upon by a constant force $F$ for a time $t$. They start from rest and acquire kinetic energies,$E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ respectively. Then $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is
