Solution
Elastic collision, equal masses, one at rest → velocities exchange.
The first body comes to rest (); the second moves off with .
Solution
Final common velocity: .
. .
Fraction lost .
Solution
Use elastic 1D formulas:
Closest option: , . Pick A.
Solution
At the top, gravity supplies centripetal force at minimum speed: .
.
Solution
and (from energy conservation).
Ratio: .
Solution
Normal reaction is perpendicular to motion. Work = .
Doubled

Quadrupled
Solution
, so . Doubling multiplies by .
Solution
Conservation of energy gives , regardless of the incline angle. (Mass and incline angle both cancel.)
Solution
Same force , so . Energy .
So . Ratio .

Solution
Final KE: .
Average power .
Solution
Spring energy converted to KE:
.
Hmm — . None of the options are exact, but closest is if k or x differs slightly. Re-checking with would give . With listed values the answer is approximately .
Equal to the increase in KE
Twice the increase in KE
Half the increase in KE
Zero
Solution
The work-energy theorem says . The work done by the net force exactly equals the change in kinetic energy.
