$A$ 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 $2$.

$A$ bullet of mass $0.012\;kg$ and horizontal speed $70\;m\;s^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.4\;kg$ and instantly comes to rest with respect to the block. The block is suspended from the ceiling by means of thin wires. Calculate the height to which the block rises. Also,estimate the amount of heat produced in the block.

The mass of a person is $60 \, kg$. If he gains $10^5 \, \text{calories}$ of heat energy from food and the efficiency of his body is $28 \%$,then up to what height can he climb? (approximately) ($g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$,$J = 4.2 \, J/\text{cal}$)

$A$ person of mass $60 \, kg$ wants to lose $5 \, kg$ by going up and down a $10 \, m$ high stairs. Assume he burns twice as much fat while going up than coming down. If $1 \, kg$ of fat is burnt on expending $7000 \, kcal$,how many times must he go up and down to reduce his weight by $5 \, kg$?

Two bodies of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are acted upon by a constant force $F$ for a time $t$. They start from rest and acquire kinetic energies,$E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ respectively. Then $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is
