A rough inclined plane is placed on a cart moving with a constant velocity u on horizontal ground. A block of mass M rests on the incline. Is any work done by force of friction between the block and incline? Is there then a dissipation of energy?

A bullet of mass m fired at 30° to the horizontal leaves the barrel of the gun with a velocity v. The bullet hits a soft target at a height h above the ground while it is moving downward and emerges out with half the kinetic energy it had before hitting the target. Which of the following statements are correct in respect of bullet after it emerges out of the target?

Two blocks M₁ and M₂ having equal mass are free to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. M₂ is attached to a massless spring as shown in Fig. 6.10. Initially M₂ is at rest and M₁ is moving toward M₂ with speed v and collides head-on with M₂.

Why is electrical power required at all when the elevator is descending? Why should there be a limit on the number of passengers in this case?

A body is being raised to a height h from the surface of earth. What is the sign of work done by

(a) applied force

(b) gravitational force?
