To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a rough road having $\mu = 0.5$ and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?

$A$ bullet of mass $0.012\;kg$ and horizontal speed $70\;m\;s^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.4\;kg$ and instantly comes to rest with respect to the block. The block is suspended from the ceiling by means of thin wires. Calculate the height to which the block rises. Also,estimate the amount of heat produced in the block.

Two spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively collide with each other. Initially, $S_1$ is at rest and $S_2$ is moving with velocity $v$ along the $x$-axis. After the collision, $S_2$ has a velocity $\frac{v}{2}$ in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The sphere $S_1$ moves after the collision:

Two identical particles are moving with same velocity $v$ as shown in the figure. If the collision is completely inelastic,then:

$A$ force of $10 \ N$ acting at an angle on a particle produces a displacement of $(3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{\jmath}) \ m$. Due to this force,if the kinetic energy of the particle is decreased by $25 \ J$,then the angle between the force and the displacement is:
