$A$ horizontal force $F = (g - x^2) \hat{i} \text{ N}$ acts on a wooden block resting on a horizontal smooth surface. The work done to move the block from $x = 0$ to $x = 3 \text{ m}$ (in $\text{J}$) is (Use $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
To an observer $A$,the work done by the normal reaction $N$ between the block and the spring on the block is

$A$ force $F = (5 + 3y^2)$ acts on a particle in the $y$ direction,where $F$ is in newtons and $y$ is in meters. The work done by the force during a displacement from $y = 2 \, m$ to $y = 5 \, m$ is $............. \, J$.

$A$ bullet of mass $1 \ kg$ fired with a speed $2 \ m \ s^{-1}$ from $x = 0$ passes through a block of wood whose centre is kept at a distance of $10 \ m$ from the origin as shown in figure. The retarding force $F_r$ on the bullet within the wooden block is $-0.5/x$. The minimum length of the block (up to $1$ decimal digit) required to completely stop the bullet is (Assume $e^4 = 55$).
