  • A
    by the tangential force is zero and by the centripetal force is not zero.
  • B
    by the centripetal force is zero and by the tangential force is not zero.
  • C
    by both the forces is positive.
  • D

$A$ block of mass $M = 1 \ kg$ is released from rest at the top of a smooth track of radius $R = 40 \ m$. The block slides along the track without toppling,and a frictional force acts on it in the direction opposite to the instantaneous velocity. The work done in overcoming the friction up to the point $Q$ (where the radius makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal),as shown in the figure,is $150 \ J$. (Take the acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m s^{-2}$)
$1.$ The speed of the block when it reaches the point $Q$ is:
$(A) 5 \ m s^{-1}$ $(B) 10 \ m s^{-1}$ $(C) 10\sqrt{3} \ m s^{-1}$ $(D) 20 \ m s^{-1}$
$2.$ The magnitude of the normal reaction that acts on the block at the point $Q$ is:
$(A) 7.5 \ N$ $(B) 8.6 \ N$ $(C) 11.5 \ N$ $(D) 22.5 \ N$
Give the answers for question $1$ and $2$.

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are throwing a ball of mass $200 \ g$ at a wall as shown in the figure. The balls strike the wall perpendicularly at the same point at a height of $2 \ m$ from the ground. The balls strike the wall elastically at the same time and return back to $A$ and $B$ at the same time. They repeat this process. What is the average force exerted on the wall (in $N$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ 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
According to the observer $A$:
