$A$ block of mass $M = 1 \ kg$ is released from rest at the top of a smooth track of radius $R = 40 \ m$. The block slides along the track without toppling,and a frictional force acts on it in the direction opposite to the instantaneous velocity. The work done in overcoming the friction up to the point $Q$ (where the radius makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal),as shown in the figure,is $150 \ J$.

$A$ slide with a frictionless curved surface,which becomes horizontal at its lower end,is fixed on the terrace of a building of height $3h$ from the ground,as shown in the figure. $A$ spherical ball of mass $m$ is released on the slide from rest at a height $h$ from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity $\vec{u}_0 = u_0 \hat{x}$ and falls on the ground at a distance $d$ from the building,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity $\vec{v}$ and reaches a maximum height $h_1$. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$ and the coefficient of restitution of the ground is $e = 1 / \sqrt{3}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ $\vec{u}_0 = \sqrt{2gh} \hat{x}$
$(B)$ $\vec{v} = \sqrt{2gh} \hat{x} + \sqrt{2gh} \hat{z}$
