g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin

g down a ramp. (a) Explain why the tension in the string of a pendulum does no work. (b) Explain why the normal force does no work on an object sliding down a ramp. (c) Give an example of a situation where tension does do work on an object. (d) Give an example of a situation where friction does positive work on something.

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

       i.e Normal \ Force(N)  = mg cos \theta

And \theta = 90 so

           N = 0

c

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position        

d

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work

Answer:

a) θ=90º, b) θ=90º, c) θ=0º W =F x, d) θ=180º W = -fr x

Explanation:

The job is defined by

       W = F. dx

Where the point is the dot product

      W = F dx cos θ

Let's apply this equation to our case

 

a) the attention is perpendicular to the arc of the displacement, and the displacement is parallel to the arc, so the angle between the tension and the displacement is 90º so the cosine is zero

        W = 0

b) The normal is the reaction to the weight of the body, so it is perpendicular to the surface and the displacement is parallel to the surface, the angle between these two is 90º

      W = 0

c) when we pull a body with a rope the tension of the rope does work on the body

         W = T x

d) When we pull a body on a rough surface, the friction force creates a job because it is the angle between friction and the 180º displacement

         W = - fr x

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?A) They have different wavel
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.

They did not require material medium for their propagation.

The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.

Explain the relationship between energy and the potential to do work
Alenkinab [10]
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.
