$A$ boy of mass $40 \, kg$ runs up a flight of $50$ steps,each $10 \, cm$ high,in $5 \, s$. Find: $(i)$ the work done by the boy,and $(ii)$ the power developed. $(g = 9.8 \, m s^{-2})$

$(i)$ An object thrown at a certain angle to the ground moves in a curved path and falls back to the ground. The initial and the final points of the path of the object lie on the same horizontal line. What is the total work done against the force of gravity and by the force of gravity on the object? Explain with proper mathematical expression.
$(ii)$ $A$ certain force acting on a $20 \, kg$ mass changes its velocity from $5 \, m s^{-1}$ to $2 \, m s^{-1}$. Calculate the work done by the force.

When an arrow is shot from its bow,it has kinetic energy. From where does it get the kinetic energy?

The velocity of a body moving in a straight line is increased by applying a constant force $F$ for some distance in the direction of the motion. Prove that the increase in the kinetic energy of the body is equal to the work done by the force on the body.

Explain that a flying bird possesses both potential and kinetic energy and provide their expressions.

Justify,giving proper reasoning,whether the work done in the following case is positive or negative: Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane.
