A bullet of mass \(10\) g moving horizontal with a velocity of \(400\) m/s strikes a wood block of mass \(2\) kg which is suspended by light inextensible string of length \(5\) m. As a result, the centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of \(10\) cm. The speed of the bullet after it emerges horizontally from the block will be:

1. \(100\) m/s 2. \(80\) m/s
3. \(120\) m/s 4. \(160\) m/s

(Take, \(g=10~\text{ms}^{-2}\))
1. \(14~\text{ms}^{-1}\) 
2. \(20~\text{ms}^{-1}\)

Two similar springs \(P\) and \(Q\) have spring constants \(k_P\) and \(k_Q\), such that \(k_P>k_Q\). They are stretched, first by the same amount (case a), then by the same force (case b). The work done by the springs \(W_P\) and \(W_Q\) are related as, in case (a) and case (b), respectively:

1. \(W_P=W_Q;~W_P>W_Q\)
2. \(W_P=W_Q;~W_P=W_Q\)
3. \(W_P>W_Q;~W_P<W_Q\)
4. \(W_P<W_Q;~W_P<W_Q\)

Two particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) move with initial velocities \(u_1\) and \(u_2\) respectively. On collision, one of the particles gets excited to a higher level, after absorbing energy \(E\). If the final velocities of particles are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), then we must have:

1. \(m_1^2u_1+m_2^2u_2-E = m_1^2v_1+m_2^2v_2\)
2. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2-E= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\)
4. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1^2u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2u_2^2+E = \frac{1}{2}m_1^2v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2v_2^2\)
