If work is positive,then kinetic energy increases or decreases?

The rain drop of mass $1 \text{ g}$,starts with zero velocity from a height of $1 \text{ km}$. It hits the ground with a speed of $5 \text{ m/s}$. The work done by the unknown resistive force is . . . . . . $J$. (take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

$A$ car comes to rest after traveling a distance $s$ under a constant retarding force $F$. If the mass of the car is increased by $50\%$,at what distance will the car come to rest,assuming the same retarding force $F$ and initial velocity $v$?

$A$ ball of mass $300 g$ is dropped from a height $10 m$ above a sandy ground. On reaching the ground,it penetrates through a distance $1.5 m$ in sand and finally stops. The average resistance offered by the sand to oppose the motion is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 m s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

$A$ force acts on a $3 \,g$ particle in such a way that the position of the particle as a function of time is given by $x = 3t - 4t^2 + t^3$,where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds. The work done during the first $4 \,s$ is ..... $mJ$.

$A$ particle is released from height $S$ above the surface of the earth. At a certain height,its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The height from the surface of the earth and the speed of the particle at that instant are respectively:
