Which one of the following statement is wrong?

1. When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body decreases.
2. Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic energy.
3. The rate of change of the total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the sum of the internal forces on the system.
4. In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the total linear momentum of the system of two bodies does not change after the collision.

A raindrop of radius \(2\) mm falls from a height of \(500\) m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until, at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey?

1. \(0\) in each half
2. \(0.082\) J in each half
3. \(17.87\) J in each half
4. \(0.045\) J in each half
