Answer: a) i) 0 ii) 0  b) i) 0 ii) -25.1 J

Explanation:

a) For the first part, as work is defined as the process through an applied force produces a displacement in the direction of the movement, if the start and the end points are the same (as for a complete circle), this means that there is no displacement, i.e. total work (for any applied force) is 0.

b) Taking only a semicircle from the lowest to the highest point on the path, as tension force is always perpendicular to the displacement, we can conclude that the tension force does no work.

Now, for gravity, the displacement, is just the difference in height between the highest and lowest point, which is equal to twice the length of the string, and is a vector with only a vertical component, as follows:

Δy = y₂ - y₁ (by definition of displacement)

Now, the work done by gravity is just the product of the weight of  the ball, times the vertical displacement (as the work done by gravity is independent of the trajectory) , as follows :

W = m. g. (y₂-y₁) = 0.8 Kg. 9.8 m/s². (-2. 1.6 m) = -25.1 J

(The minus sign is due to gravity and the displacement point in opposite directions, in this case we take as positive the downward direction).

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

A book is launched up along the rough incline. Kinetic energy given to a book at initial point is 100 J. Book comes to stop at s
den301095 [7]

Answer:

(A) 60 J

Explanation:

At state 1

KE₁=100 J

At state 2

KE₂ = 0

U₂=80 J

Given that surface is rough so friction force will act in opposite to the direction of motion

Lets take work done by friction = Wfr

From work power energy

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Wfr + U₂=ΔKE

Wfr+80 = 100

Wfr= 20 J

Now when book slides from top position then

Wfr+ U = KEf - KEi

-20 + 80 = KEf-0

KEf= 60 J

(A) 60 J
