Define elastic collision and inelastic collision.

$A$ $2 \ kg$ block slides on a horizontal surface at a speed of $4 \ m/s$ and strikes an uncompressed spring. The kinetic friction force is $15 \ N$ and the spring constant is $10,000 \ N/m$. By how many $cm$ will the spring be compressed?

$A$ student skates up a ramp that makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed $v_0$ and wants to turn around over a semicircular path $xyz$ of radius $R$ during which he/she reaches a maximum height $h$ (at point $y$) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
$(A)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{1}{2} gR$
$(B)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} gR$
$(C)$ The centripetal force required at points $x$ and $z$ is zero.
$(D)$ The centripetal force required is maximum at points $x$ and $z$.

Write the similarity between various forms of energy.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is initially at rest at the origin. It is subjected to a force and starts moving along the $x$-axis. Its kinetic energy $K$ changes with time as $dK/dt = \gamma t$,where $\gamma$ is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
$(A)$ The force applied on the particle is constant
$(B)$ The speed of the particle is proportional to time
$(C)$ The distance of the particle from the origin increases linearly with time
$(D)$ The force is conservative

$A$ body of mass $2 \; kg$ initially at rest moves under the action of an applied horizontal force of $7 \; N$ on a table with coefficient of kinetic friction $= 0.1$. Compute the
$(a)$ work done by the applied force in $10 \; s$,
$(b)$ work done by friction in $10 \; s$,
$(c)$ work done by the net force on the body in $10 \; s$,
$(d)$ change in kinetic energy of the body in $10 \; s$,
and interpret your results.
