The diagram shows the vertical cross-section \(A B C\) of a fixed surface. \(A B\) is a curve and \(B C\) is a horizontal straight line. The part of the surface containing \(A B\) is smooth and the part containing \(B C\) is rough. \(A\) is at a height of 1.8 m above \(B C\). A particle of mass 0.5 kg is released from rest at \(A\) and travels along the surface to \(C\).
- Find the speed of the particle at \(B\).
- Given that the particle reaches \(C\) with a speed of \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), find the work done against the resistance to motion as the particle moves from \(B\) to \(C\).
