Given that,
Mass of the stone, m = 400 g = 0.4 kg
Initial speed, u = 20 m/s
It is climbed to a height of 12 m.
To find,
The work done by the resistance force.
Solution,
Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated by using the conservation of energy.

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. It can be given as follows :

So, the required work done is 32.99 J.
<span>Pitch and frequency are more or less the same thing - high pitch = high frequency.
The freqency of vibration of a string f = 1/length (L) so as length decreases the frequency increases.</span>
Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.
For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity
For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity
I think everything looks good but 2 might not be right, it might be B
