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
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A).$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A).$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.

$A$ pendulum bob has a speed $4 \,m/s$ at its lowest position. The pendulum is $1 \,m$ long. When the length of the string makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical, the speed of the bob at that position is (acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,m/s^2, \cos 60^{\circ}=0.5$).

$A$ particle $(m = 1 \; kg)$ slides down a frictionless track $(AOC)$ starting from rest at a point $A$ (height $2 \; m$). After reaching $C$,the particle continues to move freely in air as a projectile. When it reaches its highest point $P$ (height $1 \; m$),the kinetic energy of the particle (in $J$) is: (Figure drawn is schematic and not to scale; take $g = 10 \; ms^{-2}$)

An object is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of $4 \ m/s$. At what height (in $m$) will its kinetic energy be halved?

$A$ block weighing $20 \ N$ travels down a smooth curved track $AB$ joined to a rough horizontal surface (figure). The rough surface has a friction coefficient of $0.40$ with the block. If the block starts slipping on the track from a point $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,the distance it will move on the rough surface is: (in $m$)
