$A$ particle $(m = 1 \; kg)$ slides down a frictionless track $(AOC)$ starting from rest at a point $A$ (height $2 \; m$). After reaching $C$,the particle continues to move freely in air as a projectile. When it reaches its highest point $P$ (height $1 \; m$),the kinetic energy of the particle (in $J$) is: (Figure drawn is schematic and not to scale; take $g = 10 \; ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $13$

Consider an elliptically shaped rail $PQ$ in the vertical plane with $OP = 3 \ m$ and $OQ = 4 \ m$. $A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is pulled along the rail from $P$ to $Q$ with a force of $18 \ N$,which is always parallel to the line $PQ$ (see the figure). Assuming no frictional losses,the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches $Q$ is $(n \times 10) \ J$. The value of $n$ is (take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):
