$A$ bullet of mass $30 \,g$ moving with $700 \,ms^{-1}$ collides with a block of mass $4 \,kg$ hanging by a string of length $0.4 \,m$. After the collision, the block rises to a height of $0.2 \,m$. Find the velocity of the bullet when it emerges from the block. (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ body of mass $0.5 \ kg$ is supplied with a power $P$ (in watt) which varies with time $t$ (in second) as $P = 3t^2 + 3$. If the velocity of the body at time $t = 0$ is zero, then the velocity of the body at time $t = 3 \ s$ is (in $ms^{-1}$)

$A$ spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $2.0 \,N \,m^{-1}$ and the mass of the block is $2.0 \,kg$. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially, the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $1.0 \,kg$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $2.0 \,kg$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is. . . .

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $h$,calculate the value of $h$.

Blocks of masses $m, m, 2m, 4m$ and $8m$ are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass $m$,moving with speed $v$ along the same line (see figure) collides with the first mass $m$ in a perfectly inelastic manner. All the subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass $8m$ starts moving,the total energy loss is $p\%$ of the original energy. The value of $p$ is close to:
