Work done by the frictional force is

$A$ bullet of mass $10 \ g$ pierces through a plate $A$ of mass $500 \ g$ and then gets embedded into a second plate $B$ of mass $1.49 \ kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the two plates $A$ and $B$ are at rest and move with the same velocity after the collision. The percentage loss in the initial kinetic energy of the bullet when it is between the plates $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . (Neglect any loss of material of the plates during the collision).

Which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ ball is thrown vertically downwards from a height of $20 \, m$ with an initial velocity $v_0$. It collides with the ground,loses $50\%$ of its energy in the collision,and rebounds to the same height. The initial velocity $v_0$ is .................... $m/s$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ 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 $\,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ above the ground. At the same time,another particle of the same mass is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of $\sqrt{2gh}$. If they collide head-on completely inelastically,the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground,in units of $\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$,is
