(N/A) $(1)$ Heat Energy:
The frictional force is a non-conservative force. When a block of mass $m$ slides on a rough horizontal surface with speed $v_{0}$,it comes to a halt over a distance $x_{0}$. The work done by the force of kinetic friction $f$ over $x_{0}$ is $-f x_{0}$. By the work-energy theorem,$\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2} = f x_{0}$. The kinetic energy is converted into internal energy,increasing the temperature of the block and the surface. For example,rubbing palms generates heat.
$(2)$ Chemical Energy:
Chemical energy arises from the different binding energies of molecules participating in a chemical reaction. $A$ stable compound has less energy than its separated components. If the total energy of reactants is greater than that of products,heat is released (exothermic reaction). If it is less,heat is absorbed (endothermic reaction). This energy is associated with the electromagnetic forces that bind atoms into molecules.
$(3)$ Electrical Energy:
Electrical energy is associated with the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is defined as the product of electric potential and electric charge. It is essential for modern daily life,powering household appliances.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a speed $u$ from the ground at an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ w.r.t. horizontal ($x$-axis). When it has reached its maximum height,it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $u \hat{i}$. The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is

Water falls from a $40\,m$ high dam at the rate of $9 \times 10^{4}\,kg$ per hour. Fifty percent of the gravitational potential energy can be converted into electrical energy. Using this hydroelectric energy, the number of $100\,W$ lamps that can be lit is (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the $x$-axis with initial velocity $u \hat{i}$. It collides elastically with a particle of mass $10m$ at rest and then moves with half its initial kinetic energy (see figure). If $\sin \theta_{1} = \sqrt{n} \sin \theta_{2}$,then the value of $n$ is:

Equal force $F (> mg)$ is applied to the string in all the $3$ cases. Starting from rest,the point of application of force moves a distance of $2 \ m$ down in all cases. In which case does the block have maximum kinetic energy?
