Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A):$ Kinetic energy of a system can increase without applying external force on the system.
Reason $(R):$ If external forces are absent,then the work done by internal forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A).$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A).$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.

Potential energy of a body of mass $1 \ kg$ free to move along $X$-axis is given by $U(x) = (\frac{x^2}{2} - x) \ J$. If the total mechanical energy of the body is $2 \ J$,then the maximum speed of the body is (Assume only conservative force acts on the body).

In the presence of which of the following is the work-energy theorem valid?

$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is fixed vertically on a table. $A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ onto the free end of the spring,causing the spring to compress by a distance $d$. What is the total work done in this process?

$A$ ball at rest is dropped from a height of $12 \,m$. It loses $25 \%$ of its kinetic energy on striking the ground and bounces back to a height '$h$'. Then the value of '$h$' is (in $\,m$)

$A$ pendulum bob on a $2\, m$ string is displaced $60^\circ$ from the vertical and then released. What is the speed of the bob as it passes through the lowest point in its path? (Take $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$)
