  • B
    $\frac{m u^2 \cos^2 \alpha}{2}$
  • C
    $-\frac{m u^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m u^2 g \sin^2 \alpha}{2}$

$A$ particle gets displaced by $\Delta \vec{r} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) \text{ m}$ under the action of a force $\vec{F} = (7\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \text{ N}$. The change in its kinetic energy is ............... $\text{J}$.

In the figure shown,all the surfaces are frictionless,and the mass of the block $m$ is $1\,kg$. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now,the wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of $5\,m/s^2$ by applying a force on the wedge,such that the block does not slip on the wedge. Then,the work done by the normal force in the ground frame on the block in $2\,sec$ is ............... $J$.
