A 0.5kg pendulum bob is given a speed at the bottom to complete a 1m vertical circle. What is the speed at the bottom? (

At top, vC=gL, energy conservation: 12mv02=12m(gL)+2mgL. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 12 m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.

A 8kg block is pushed with 40N over 6m on a frictionless surface, starting from 2m/s. What is its final speed?

Initial Ki=12×8×22=16J. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 8 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
