$A$ bullet of mass $20 \, g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500 \, m/s$ passes through a wooden block of mass $10.0 \, kg$ initially at rest on a surface. The bullet emerges with a speed of $100 \, m/s$ and the block slides $20 \, cm$ on the surface before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$

Four blocks $A, B, C$ and $D$ of masses $6 \,kg, 3 \,kg, 6 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings $P$ and $Q$ are horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and the block $B$ is $0.2$ and the blocks $A$ and $B$ move together. If the system is released from rest, then the tension in the string $Q$ is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

In the figure shown,all surfaces are frictionless,and the mass of the block is $m = 1\, kg$. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now,the wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of $a = 10\, m/s^2$ by applying a force on the wedge,such that the block does not slip on the wedge. Calculate the work done by the normal force in the ground frame on the block in $\sqrt{3}$ seconds. (Assume $\tan \theta = a/g = 1$,so $\theta = 45^\circ$)

$Assertion$: Two bodies of masses $M$ and $m$ $(M > m)$ are allowed to fall from the same height. If the air resistance for each is the same,then both bodies will reach the Earth simultaneously.
$Reason$: For the same air resistance,the acceleration of both bodies will be the same.
