A block of mass M with a semicircular track of radius R, rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A uniform cylinder of radius r and mass m is released from rest at the top point A (see Fig). The cylinder slips on the, semicircular frictionless track. How far has the block moved when the cylinder reaches the bottom (point B) of the track? How fast is the block moving when the cylinder reaches the bottom of the track?

A ball of mass m=1 kg falling vertically with a velocity v0=2 m s-1 strikes a wedge of mass M=2 kg kept on a smooth, horizontal surface as shown in figure. The coefficient of restitution between the ball and the wedge is e=12. Find the velocity of the wedge and the ball immediately after collision.
