If the function $$f(x) = {{\cos (\sin x) - \cos x} \over {{x^4}}}$$ is continuous at each point in its domain and $$f(0) = {1 \over k}$$, then k is ____________.

A boy is rolling a 0.5 kg ball on the frictionless floor with the speed of 20 ms^-1. The ball gets deflected by an obstacle on the way. After deflection it moves with 5% of its initial kinetic energy. What is the speed of the ball now?

A polyatomic ideal gas has 24 vibrational modes. What is the value of $$\gamma$$?

Two ideal polyatomic gases at temperatures T₁ and T₂ are mixed so that there is no loss of energy. If F₁ and F₂, m₁ and m₂, n₁ and n₂ be the degrees of freedom, masses, number of molecules of the first and second gas respectively, the temperature of mixture of these two gases is :
