$A$ toy gun fires a plastic pellet with a mass of $0.5\ g$. The pellet is propelled by a spring with a spring constant of $1.25\ N/cm$, which is compressed $2.0\ cm$ before firing. The plastic pellet travels horizontally $10\ cm$ down the barrel (from its compressed position) with a constant friction force of $0.0475\ N$. What is the speed (in $SI\ units$) of the bullet as it emerges from the barrel?

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $11$

$A$ particle is released from height $S$ above the surface of the earth. At a certain height,its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The height from the surface of the earth and the speed of the particle at that instant are respectively:

An object of mass $8 \ kg$ moves under the influence of a force. The position of the object varies with time as $x = \frac{1}{2} t^2$,where $x$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. Find the work done by the force in the first $2 \ s$ in $J$.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A):$ Kinetic energy of a system can increase without applying external force on the system.
Reason $(R):$ If external forces are absent,then the work done by internal forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ body of mass $0.25 \ kg$ travels along a straight line from $x=0$ to $x=2 \ m$ with a speed $v=k x^{3/2}$ where $k=2$ $SI$ units. The work done by the net force during this displacement is: (in $J$)

$A$ ball of mass $20 \ kg$ is at rest on a hill of height $100 \ m$. It starts rolling down,reaches the ground,climbs another hill of height $30 \ m$,and finally rolls down to a horizontal platform at a height of $20 \ m$ from the ground. What will be its velocity at this point? (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
