Bob \(B\) of mass \(m\) at rest is hanging vertically from the ceiling via a massless string of length \(10~\text{m},\) as shown in the figure. Point mass \(A\) of mass \(m\) travelling horizontally with speed \(10\) m/s hits bob \(B\) elastically. The bob \(B\) rises \(h\) meter after the collision. Taking the acceleration due to gravity \(g=10\) m/s2 and neglecting the size of the bob, the value of \(h\) is:
                       
1. \(2.5\)
2. \(8\)
3. \(7\)
4. \(5\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air, its fragments fly in such a way that they continue moving in the same path, which the firecracker would have followed, had it not exploded.
Reason (R): The explosion of cracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only and no external force acts for this explosion.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Two particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) move with initial velocities \(u_1\) and \(u_2\) respectively. On collision, one of the particles gets excited to a higher level, after absorbing energy \(E\). If the final velocities of particles are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), then we must have:

1. \(m_1^2u_1+m_2^2u_2-E = m_1^2v_1+m_2^2v_2\)
2. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2-E= \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\)
4. \(\frac{1}{2}m_1^2u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2u_2^2+E = \frac{1}{2}m_1^2v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2^2v_2^2\)
