A $15\, g$ ball is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant of $600\, N\, m$. The spring is compressed by $3\, cm$. The greatest possible velocity of the ball for this compression is ............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$   $(g = 10\, m/s^2$)

Answer carefully, with reasons :

$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two billiard balls, is the total kinetic energy conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e. when they are in contact) ?

$(b)$ Is the total linear momentum conserved during the short time of an elastic collision of two balls ?

$(c)$ What are the answers to $(a)$ and $(b)$ for an inelastic collision ?

$(d)$ If the potential energy of two billiard balls depends only on the separation distance between their centres, is the collision elastic or inelastic ?

(Note, we are talking here of potential energy corresponding to the force during collision, not gravitational potential energy).

$2$ particles of mass $1\,Kg$ and $5\,kg$ have same momentum, calculate ratio of their $K.E.$

A mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass initially at rest. After collision the first mass moves with velocity $\frac{v}{\sqrt 3}$ in a  direction perpendicular to its initial direction of motion. The speed of second mass after collision is 

A ball $P$ collides with another identical ball $Q$ at rest. For what value of coefficient of  restitution $e$, the velocity of ball $Q$ become two times that of ball $P$ after collision

Work equal to $25\,J$ is done on a mass of $2\,kg$ to set it in motion. If whole of it is used to increase the kinetic energy then velocity acquired by the mass is ............ $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$
