A bullet of mass 10 g is fired horizontally 1000 m/s from a rifle situated at a height 50 m above the ground. If the bullet reaches the ground with velocity 500 m/s the work done against air resistance in the trajectory of the bullet in joule is (g = 10 m/s^(-2))

A body of mass 1kg is dropped from a height of 5 m on to the ground. If thebody penetrates 2cm in to the groun, the average resistance offered by the ground on the body is (g=10ms^(-2))
