  • A
    $100\,J, 8.75\,J$
  • B
    $10\,J, -8.75\,J$
  • C
    $-10\,J, 8.25\,J$
  • D
    $1.25\,J, -8.25\,J$

An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object to its initial position along the same path would be:

$A$ 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 $150 \ J$. (Take the acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m s^{-2}$)
$1.$ The speed of the block when it reaches the point $Q$ is:
$(A) 5 \ m s^{-1}$ $(B) 10 \ m s^{-1}$ $(C) 10\sqrt{3} \ m s^{-1}$ $(D) 20 \ m s^{-1}$
$2.$ The magnitude of the normal reaction that acts on the block at the point $Q$ is:
$(A) 7.5 \ N$ $(B) 8.6 \ N$ $(C) 11.5 \ N$ $(D) 22.5 \ N$
Give the answers for question $1$ and $2$.

$A$ man throws a ball to a height of $12 \ m$,where it reaches with a speed of $12 \ m/s$. If the man throws the ball such that it just reaches this height,what percentage of energy would he have saved?

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ If $\overrightarrow P \cdot \overrightarrow Q = 0$,then the angle between $\overrightarrow P$ and $\overrightarrow Q$ is $0^o$.
$(b)$ If two bodies stick together after a collision,the collision is called an elastic collision.
$(c)$ When an equal force is applied to a heavy and a light object on the same surface,more work is done by the force on the heavy object.

$A$ force of $10 \ N$ acting at an angle on a particle produces a displacement of $(3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{\jmath}) \ m$. Due to this force,if the kinetic energy of the particle is decreased by $25 \ J$,then the angle between the force and the displacement is:
