$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v \text{ m/s}$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed in $\text{m/s}$ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $20 \ kg$ and $5 \ kg$ respectively are at rest. Due to the action of a force of $40 \ N$ separately,if the two bodies acquire equal kinetic energies in times $t_A$ and $t_B$ respectively,then $t_A: t_B=$

$A$ student skates up a ramp that makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed $v_0$ and wants to turn around over a semicircular path $xyz$ of radius $R$ during which he/she reaches a maximum height $h$ (at point $y$) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
$(A)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{1}{2} gR$
