A rifle bullets loses $\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)^{th}$ of its velocity in passing through a plank. Assuming that the plank exerts a constant retarding force, the least number of such planks required just to stop the bullet is .............

A particle moves in a straight line with retardation proportional to its displacement. Its loss of kinetic energy for any displacement $x$ is proportional to:
Assume the aerodynamic drag force on a car is proportional to its speed. If the power output from the engine is doubled, then the maximum speed of the car.
A particle of mass $4\, m$ which is at rest explodes into three fragments. Two of the fragments each of mass $m$ are found to move with a speed $v$ each in perpendicular directions. The total energy released in the process will be
A body of mass ${M_1}$ collides elastically with another mass ${M_2}$ at rest. There is maximum transfer of energy when
A curved surface is shown in figure. The portion $BCD$ is free of friction. There are three spherical balls of identical radii and masses. Balls are released from rest one by one from $A$ which is at a slightly greater height than $C$.
With the surface $AB$, ball $1$ has large enough friction to cause rolling down without slipping; ball $2$ has a small friction and ball $3$ has a negligible friction.
$(a)$ For which balls is total mechanical energy conserved ?
$(b)$ Which ball $(s)$ can reach $D$ ?
$(c)$ For ball which do not reach $D$, which of the balls can reach back $A$ ?
