An object of mass $20 \,kg$ is displaced by $x = 5t^2 \,m$ (where $t$ is time) due to the application of a force. The ratio of the work done in $3 \,s$ and $5 \,s$ is:

What is the work done on an object moving with a constant speed?

$A$ car driver is trying to jump across a path as shown in the figure by driving horizontally off a cliff '$X$' at a speed of $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$. When he touches peak '$Z$' (ignore air resistance),what would be his speed (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? (use $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

When an object is released,its potential energy $U$ decreases,and its velocity becomes $v$. What is the mass of the object?

The pulley and spring are massless,and friction is absent everywhere. $A$ $5\, kg$ block is released from rest. Find the speed of the $5\, kg$ block when the $2\, kg$ block leaves contact with the ground. (Take the force constant of the spring $K = 40\, N/m$ and $g = 10\, m/s^2$.)
