Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power

HARD
Consider two masses with m1>m2 connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a pulley of radius R and moment of inertia I about its axis of rotation. The string does not slip on the pulley and the pulley turns without friction. The two masses are released from rest separated by a vertical distance 2h. When the two masses pass each other, the speed of the masses is proportional to
EASY
A marble P of mass m lies at rest on the edge of a perfectly horizontal surface of a table of height h, as shown in the figure. A second identical marble Q having same mass moving at a speed u strikes it perfectly elastically. The speed acquired by marble P after the collision is (In an elastic collision, momentum as well as kinetic energy are conserved)

A large block of wood of mass M=5.99 kg is hanging from two long massless cords. A bullet of mass m=10 g is fired into the block and gets embedded in it. The (block + bullet) then swing upwards, their center of mass rising a vertical distance h=9.8 cm before the (block + bullet) pendulum comes momentarily to rest at the end of its arc. The speed of the bullet just before the collision is: (Take g=9.8 m s-2)
