The kinetic energies of two similar cars \(A\) and \(B\) are \(100~\text J\) and \(225~\text J\) respectively. On applying breaks, car \(A\) stops after \(1000~\text m\) and car \(B\) stops after \(1500~\text m.\) If \(F_A\) and \(F_B\) are the forces applied by the breaks on cars \(A\) and \(B,\) respectively, then the ratio \(F_A/F_B\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{3}{2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{2}{3}\)

A bullet from a gun is fired on a rectangular wooden block with velocity \(u\). When bullet travels \(24\) cm through the block along its length horizontally, velocity of bullet becomes \(u/3\). Then it further penetrates into the block in the same direction before coming to rest exactly at the other end of the block. The total length of the block is:
1. \(30\) cm 2. \(27\) cm
3. \(24\) cm 4. \(28\) cm
