The highway police chased down and arrested a man accused of vehicle theft. He was nabbed after a
kilometres long chase while trying to flee with a car stolen from the nearby area. The car had been
parked with the key still in the ignition. The owner raised an alarm on seeing his car being driven away.
The highway police, who happened to pass through the area then, gave the accused a chase. He then
tried to escape after abandoning the car, and the police personnel pursued him. The police van was
moving on a highway with a speed of 30 km/h fired a bullet at a thief 's car speeding away in the same
direction with a speed of 192 km/h. The muzzle speed of the bullet was 150 m/s

There are many type of springs. Important among these are helical and spiral springs as shown in
the figure.

Usually, we assume that the springs are massless.Therefore
hus the potential energy of a spring is the
the form of the elastic potential energy of the spring. Thus
