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

$A$ baseball having mass of $0.4 \ kg$ is thrown such that one of the forces acting on it varies with time as shown in the first graph. Also,the velocity of the ball is in the same direction as the force. The velocity varies with time as shown in the second graph. Choose the incorrect option (up to $0.3 \ s$).

$A$ body of mass $5\; kg$ is moving with a momentum of $10\; kg\; m/s$. $A$ force of $0.2\; N$ acts on it in the direction of motion of the body for $10\; s$. Find the increase in its kinetic energy. (in $; J$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ above the ground. At the same time,another particle of the same mass is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of $\sqrt{2gh}$. If they collide head-on completely inelastically,the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground,in units of $\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$,is

$A$ body of mass $5\,kg$ rests on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.2$. The body is pulled through a distance of $10\,m$ by a horizontal force of $25\,N$. The kinetic energy acquired by it is ......... $J$.

Answer carefully,with reasons:
$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,is the total kinetic energy conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e.,when they are in contact)?
$(b)$ Is the total linear momentum conserved during the short time of an elastic collision of two balls?
$(c)$ What are the answers to $(a)$ and $(b)$ for an inelastic collision?
$(d)$ If the potential energy of two billiard balls depends only on the separation distance between their centres,is the collision elastic or inelastic?
(Note: We are talking here of potential energy corresponding to the force during collision,not gravitational potential energy.)
