Two massless strings of length $5\, m$ hang from the ceiling very near to each other as shown in the figure. Two balls $A$ and $B$ of masses $0.25\, kg$ and $0.5\, kg$ are attached to the strings. The ball $A$ is released from rest at a height of $0.45\, m$ as shown in the figure. The collision between the two balls is completely elastic. Immediately after the collision,the kinetic energy of ball $B$ is $1\, J$. The velocity of ball $A$ just after the collision is

Which of the following statements is true?

$A$ simple pendulum of length $L = \frac{10}{3} \text{ m}$ with a bob of mass $M = 3m$ is hanging freely from a rigid support. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired with a velocity $u = 50 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ from the ground at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. When the bullet is at its highest point of its trajectory,it collides head-on with the bob of the pendulum and gets embedded in the bob. After collision,if the pendulum moves through a maximum angle of $120^{\circ}$,then the value of $\theta$ is $(g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$.

$A$ block of mass $1\,kg$ is pushed up a surface inclined to the horizontal at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ by a force of $10\,N$ parallel to the inclined surface (see figure). The coefficient of friction between the block and the incline is $0.1$. If the block is pushed up by $10\,m$ along the incline,calculate:
$(a)$ Work done against gravity
$(b)$ Work done against the force of friction
$(c)$ Increase in potential energy
$(d)$ Increase in kinetic energy
$(e)$ Work done by the applied force
