State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ If $\overrightarrow P \cdot \overrightarrow Q = 0$,then the angle between $\overrightarrow P$ and $\overrightarrow Q$ is $0^o$.
$(b)$ If two bodies stick together after a collision,the collision is called an elastic collision.
$(c)$ When an equal force is applied to a heavy and a light object on the same surface,more work is done by the force on the heavy object.

(A-D) False. If $\overrightarrow P \cdot \overrightarrow Q = 0$,the vectors are perpendicular,meaning the angle between them is $90^o$,not $0^o$.
$(b)$ False. If two bodies stick together after a collision,it is called a perfectly inelastic collision,not an elastic collision.
$(c)$ False. Work done is defined as $W = F \cdot d$. If the same force $F$ is applied,the object with less mass will experience higher acceleration $(a = F/m)$ and cover more distance $d$ in the same time interval. Therefore,more work is done on the lighter object.

$A$ target is made of two plates,one of wood and the other of iron. The thickness of the wooden plate is $4\,cm$ and that of the iron plate is $2\,cm$. $A$ bullet fired goes through the wood first and then penetrates $1\,cm$ into the iron. $A$ similar bullet fired with the same velocity from the opposite direction goes through the iron first and then penetrates $2\,cm$ into the wood. If $a_1$ and $a_2$ are the retardations offered to the bullet by the wood and iron plates respectively,then:

$A$ bullet of mass $10 \ g$ pierces through a plate $A$ of mass $500 \ g$ and then gets embedded into a second plate $B$ of mass $1.49 \ kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the two plates $A$ and $B$ are at rest and move with the same velocity after the collision. The percentage loss in the initial kinetic energy of the bullet when it is between the plates $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . (Neglect any loss of material of the plates during the collision).

$A$ $70\, kg$ man leaps vertically into the air from a crouching position. To take the leap,the man pushes the ground with a constant force $F$ to raise himself. The center of gravity rises by $0.5\, m$ before he leaves the ground. After the leap,the center of gravity rises by another $1\, m$. The maximum power delivered by the muscles is: (Take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)
