Two particles $P$ and $Q$ each of mass $3m$ lie at rest on the $X$-axis at points $(-a, 0)$ and $(+a, 0)$,respectively. $A$ third particle $R$ of mass $2m$ initially at the origin moves towards the particle $Q$ with velocity $v$. If all the collisions of the system of $3$ particles are elastic and head-on,the total number of collisions in the system is

In the case of circular motion of a body,if a tangential force also acts on the body in addition to a centripetal force,then the work done:

$A$ body is moved from rest along a straight line by a machine delivering constant power. The ratio of displacement and velocity $(s/v)$ varies with time $t$ as :

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ moves with velocity $V_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$ as shown in the figure. At a certain instant of time $t_0$ after the collision,it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same. Further,at this instant,the compression of the spring is found to be $x_0$. Determine the spring constant $k$.

Identify the correct statements from the following:
$(A)$ Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket is negative.
$(B)$ Work done by gravitational force in lifting a bucket out of a well by a rope tied to the bucket is negative.
$(C)$ Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is positive.
$(D)$ Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity is zero.
$(E)$ Work done by the air resistance on an oscillating pendulum is negative.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides from rest at a height $H$ on a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. It travels a distance $d$ across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$ by a distance $x$ before coming to rest momentarily. Then the spring extends and the block travels back attaining a final height of $h$. Then,
