$A$ body of mass $M$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a sand floor. If the body penetrates $x$ into the sand,the average resistance offered by the sand to the body is

Derive the work-energy theorem for a variable force exerted on a body in one dimension.

$A$ body of mass $2 \, kg$ is released from point $A$. Its velocity at point $B$ is $4 \, m/s$,and it comes to rest at point $C$. The work done against friction is ............. $J$.

$A$ particle,initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface,is acted upon by a horizontal force which is constant in size and direction. $A$ graph is plotted between the work done $(W)$ on the particle and the speed of the particle $(v)$. If there are no other horizontal forces acting on the particle,the graph would look like:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is travelling with a velocity $u$. When a constant retarding force $F$ is applied,it comes to rest after travelling a distance $s_{1}$. If the initial velocity is $2u$,with the same force $F$,the distance travelled before it comes to rest is $s_{2}$. Then,

$A$ block of mass $m$ is suspended vertically from an elastic string with a force constant $k = mg/a$. Initially,the string is at its natural length and the block is allowed to fall freely. What will be its kinetic energy when the block passes through the equilibrium position?
