$A$ body of mass $5 \ kg$ is placed on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction $\mu = 0.2$. It is pulled by a horizontal force of $25 \ N$ for a distance of $10 \ m$. The kinetic energy gained by the body is ..... $J$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ demonstration apparatus on a table in the lab is shown in the diagram. It consists of a metal track (shown as a thick solid line in the figure) along which a perfectly spherical marble can roll without slipping. In one run,the marble is released from rest at a height $h$ above the table on the left section,rolls down one side and then up the other side without slipping,briefly stopping when it has reached $h_1$. Assuming the table to be horizontal and neglecting air drag as well as any energy loss due to rolling,which of the following is true?

$A$ 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 $N$)
