$A$ ball of mass $2 \,kg$ is thrown from a tall building with velocity $v = (20 \,m/s) \hat{i} + (24 \,m/s) \hat{j}$ at time $t = 0 \,s$. The change in the potential energy of the ball after $t = 8 \,s$ is (The ball is assumed to be in air during its motion between $0 \,s$ and $8 \,s$, $\hat{i}$ is along the horizontal and $\hat{j}$ is along the vertical direction. Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$). (in $\,kJ$)

$A$ sphere of mass $m$ slides down a smooth inclined plane from a point $B$ at a height of $h$ starting from rest. The magnitude of the change in momentum of the particle between position $A$ (at the bottom of the incline) and $C$ (on the horizontal surface) is (assuming the angle of inclination of the plane is $\theta$ with respect to the horizontal):

$A$ rain drop of radius $2 \; mm$ falls from a height of $500 \; m$ above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height,it attains its maximum (terminal) speed,and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is $10 \; m s^{-1}$?
