A 5 kg block is lifted vertically upwards from the ground to a height of 10 m. Find the gain in potential energy.

Using the conservation of momentum: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v'₁ + m₂v'₂ 2(5) + 0 = 2v'₁ + 3v'₂ : A 5 kg block is lifted vertically

A particle moves along a straight line with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. It accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s² for 5 seconds. Find the final velocity and displacement.

A 2 kg ball collides elastically with a 3 kg ball at rest. The initial velocity of the 2 kg ball is 5 m/s. Find the final velocities of both balls. It accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s² for 5 seconds

Using the equation: ΔU = mgh ΔU = 5(10)(10) = 500 J

A block of mass 2 kg is placed on a horizontal surface. A force of 10 N is applied to the block, causing it to accelerate at 3 m/s². Find the coefficient of friction. The initial velocity of the 2 kg ball is 5 m/s

Using the equation for elastic collisions: v'₁ = (m₁ - m₂)v₁ / (m₁ + m₂) v'₁ = (2 - 3)(5) / (2 + 3) = -1 m/s
