$A$ block of mass $100\, g$ slides on a rough horizontal surface. If the speed of the block decreases from $10\, m/s$ to $5\, m/s,$ the thermal energy developed in the process is............. $J$.

$A$ student of mass $M$ is $1.5 \,m$ tall and has her centre of mass $1 \,m$ above the ground when standing straight. She wants to jump up vertically. To do so,she bends her knees so that her centre of mass is lowered by $0.2 \,m$ and then pushes the ground by a constant force $F$. As a result,she jumps up such that the maximum height of her feet is $0.3 \,m$ above the ground. The ratio $F / Mg$ is (in $.5$)
