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).

A .100 kg bullet is flying at 200 m/s. How much energy is the bullet storing due to its motion?
morpeh [17]

KE = 2000 J

Explanation:

KE = (1/2)mv^2

= (1/2)(0.100 kg)(200 m/s)^2

= 2000 J

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction
const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .
