An object of mass $10 \,kg$ is projected from the ground with a speed of $40 \,m/s$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The rate of change of momentum of the object one second after projection in $SI$ units is ........ [Take $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$]

$A$ pebble of mass $0.05 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble,$(a)$ during its upward motion,$(b)$ during its downward motion,$(c)$ at the highest point where it is momentarily at rest. Do your answers change if the pebble was thrown at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal direction? Ignore air resistance.

$A$ cubical box of side $a$ sitting on a rough table-top is pushed horizontally with a gradually increasing force until the box moves. If the force is applied at a height from the table top which is greater than a critical height $H$,the box topples first. If it is applied at a height less than $H$,the box starts sliding first. Then,the coefficient of friction between the box and the table top is

Block $B$ of mass $100 \ kg$ rests on a rough surface with a friction coefficient $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ rope is tied to block $B$ as shown in the figure. The maximum acceleration with which boy $A$ of mass $25 \ kg$ can climb the rope without making the block move is:

Can the work done by a frictional force be positive or negative?
