$A$ ball is dropped on the floor from a height of $20 \ m$. It rebounds to a height of $5 \ m$. The ball remains in contact with the floor for $1 \ s$. The average acceleration during contact is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$): (in $m/s^2$)

$A$ sphere of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is kept on a rough horizontal surface and pulled with a horizontal force $F = \alpha t$,where $\alpha$ is a constant and $t$ is time. The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s$ and the coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k$. Which of the following graphs correctly shows the variation of the acceleration of the sphere with time?

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer given below:
$(A)$ $A$ body initially at rest is acted upon by a constant force. The rate of change of its kinetic energy varies linearly with time.
$(B)$ When a body is at rest, it must be in equilibrium.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ force making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal starts acting on the block. The magnitude of the force is constant but its direction with the horizontal changes as $\theta = a + bs$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $s$ is the distance covered by the block. If $|F| = 2mb$,find the velocity of the block as a function of the angle $\theta$.

Two carts are pushed apart by the explosion of a charge placed between them. $A$ cart of mass $100 \ kg$ stops after traveling a distance of $18 \ m$. What distance will a cart of mass $300 \ kg$ travel before stopping? The coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the carts and the ground is the same for both.
