$A$ train is moving along the tracks at a constant speed $u$. $A$ girl on the train throws a ball of mass $m$ straight ahead along the direction of motion of the train with speed $v$ with respect to herself. Then

  • A
    Kinetic energy of the ball as measured by the girl on the train is $mv^2 / 2$
  • B
    Work done by the girl in throwing the ball is $mv^2 / 2$
  • C
    Work done by the train is $mvu$
  • D
    The gain in kinetic energy of the ball as measured by a person standing by the rail track is $mv^2 / 2$

$A$ rain drop of radius $2 \; mm$ falls from a height of $500 \; m$ above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height,it attains its maximum (terminal) speed,and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is $10 \; m s^{-1}$?
