A block of \(1\) kg is released from the top of a smooth curve \(\mathrm{AB},\) and then it encounters a rough surface \(\mathrm{BC},\) coming to rest at \(\mathrm{C}.\) The work done by friction is:
(take \(g=10\) m/s2)

1. \(25\) J 2. \(50\) J
3. \(-25\) J 4. \(-50\) J

A bullet from a gun is fired on a rectangular wooden block with velocity \(u\). When bullet travels \(24\) cm through the block along its length horizontally, velocity of bullet becomes \(u/3\). Then it further penetrates into the block in the same direction before coming to rest exactly at the other end of the block. The total length of the block is:
1. \(30\) cm 2. \(27\) cm
3. \(24\) cm 4. \(28\) cm

In a ballistics demonstration, a police officer fires a bullet of mass \(50.0~\text g\) with speed \(200~\text{m/s}\) on soft plywood of thickness \(2.00~\text {cm}.\) The bullet emerges with only \(\text{10%}\) of its initial kinetic energy. The emergent speed of the bullet is:

1. \(\text {Zero}\) 2. \(53.2~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(63.2~\text{m/s}\) 4. \(6.32~\text{m/s}\)
