A 1.5kg block slides down a frictionless incline from 12m height. What is its speed at the bottom? (Take g\=10m/s2)

Potential energy mgh=1.5×10×12=180J. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 15 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

A 2kg block slides down a 37∘ incline with μk\=0.2 at constant speed. What additional horizontal force is needed to acce

Constant speed: mgsin⁡θ=fk, fk=μkN, N=mgcos⁡θ. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 2.94 N as the result, so option B is correct.
