For the trajectory of the particle to sharply change from the horizontal line to the inclined line, the
impact of the particle with inclined plane should reduce the u sin component of velocity to zero.
Hence the particle moves up the incline with speed u cos .
Hence as increases, the height to which the particle rises shall decrease.

To find the value of K when a particle slides inside a hemisphere bowl and reaches a point making an angle \(\theta = 15K^\circ\) with the horizontal, we substitute in the given condition \(\theta = 45^\circ\), leading to \(K = 3\).
The maximum speed of the third block is achieved when the value of k for the middle block is such that the kinetic energy is maximized at transfer .
The velocity of the image after the collision is determined using the coefficient of restitution and the fact that the mirror does not change velocity. The image velocity is affected based on the values of \(e\) and the respective velocities before and after impact .
The work done on block A by the spring by the time it acquires its natural length is \(\frac{1}{3}kx_0^2\).
The angular acceleration of the system when the particle becomes horizontal is \(\alpha = \frac{3g}{8R}\).
The coefficient of restitution for the collision is \(1/2\) when the ball moving with velocity \(\hat{i}\) collides with a stationary wall and returns with velocity \(\hat{j}/2\).
The center block, after multiple instantaneous elastic collisions with the equal mass blocks, will be at rest at its initial position .
Applying conservation of energy and the calculation of the moment of inertia allows us to derive the time period of oscillation and determine the conditions under which mechanical energy is conserved while the pendulum attains equilibrium .
The maximum height attained by the center of mass of the system is \(\frac{v_0^2}{8g}\) when the particle A is projected upwards with speed \(v_0\).
Given that the kinetic energy of the rod is \(K = \frac{4Mv^2}{3}\), we derive this by relating the velocity components and using both translational and rotational kinetic energy equations .
