$A$ man of mass $60$ $kg$ wants to lose $5$ $kg$ of mass by climbing up and down stairs. Assume that twice the amount of fat is burned while climbing up compared to climbing down. If burning $1$ $kg$ of fat provides $7000$ $kcal$ of energy, how many times must he climb up and down the stairs to lose $5$ $kg$ of mass (in $\times$)? (Assume the energy spent in climbing up is $20$ $kcal$ and climbing down is $10$ $kcal$ per trip).

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1500$
  • C
    $2000$
  • D
    $2500$

$A$ ball is thrown vertically down from a height of $40 \,m$ from the ground with an initial velocity $v$. The ball hits the ground, loses $\frac{1}{3}$ of its total mechanical energy, and rebounds back to the same height. If the acceleration due to gravity is $10 \,m/s^2$, then the value of $v$ is (in $\,m/s$)

$A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is placed at point $A$ on a rough path. It is gently pushed to the right. It slides down the slope and reaches point $B$. Find the work done by the friction force on the block during the journey from point $A$ to point $B$ in $J$. (Assume the vertical height difference between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2 \ m$ and the block starts and ends at rest).
