A block of mass m attached to a massless spring is performing oscillatory motion of amplitude 'A' on a frictionless horizontal plane. If half of the mass of the block breaks off when it is passing through its equilibrium point, the amplitude of oscillation for the remaining system become ƒA. The value of ƒ is:

An object of mass 5 kg is projected with a velocity 20 m s-1 at an angle 60°, to the horizontal. At the highest point of its path, the projectile explodes and breaks up into two fragments of masses 1 kg and 4 kg. The fragments separate horizontally after the explosion, which releases internal energy such that the KE of the system af the highest point is doubled. The separation between the two fragments when they reach the ground is
