A block of mass \(m\) is being lowered by means of a string attached to it. The system moves down with a constant velocity. Then:
| 1. | the work done by gravity on the block is positive. |
| 2. | the work done by force, \(F \) (the force of the string) on the block is negative. |
| 3. | the work done by gravity is equal in magnitude to that done by the string. |
| 4. | All of the above are true. |
A block of mass \(m\) is placed on a vertical spring and compressed downward by an external force. When released, the block moves upward. Let the work done by the spring be \(W_s,\) and the work done by gravity be \(W_g.\) Denote the potential energy stored in the spring as \(P_s,\) the gravitational potential energy of the block as \(P_{mg},\) and its kinetic energy as \(K_m.\)
Which of the following relations correctly represents the energy transformations during the block’s motion?
| 1. | loss in \(P_s\) \(=\) gain in \(K_m\) |
| 2. | loss in \(P_s\) \(=\) gain in \(K_m\) \(+\) gain in \(P_{mg}\) |
| 3. | \(W_g = W_s \) |
| 4. | \(W_s\) \(=\) gain in \(K_m\) |
The potential energy due to a force is given by:
\(U(x,y)= -3xy+2y^2\) (in joule)
where \(x,y\) are in metres.
The force acting when \(x=0,y=1\) (m) is: (in magnitude)
1. \(2~\text{N}\)
2. \(1~\text{N}\)
3. \(3~\text{N}\)
4. \(5~\text{N}\)
The force acting on a particle is shown in the diagram as a function of \(x\). Work done by this force when the particle moves from \(x=0~\text{to}~x=2~\text{m}\) equals:

| 3. | \(7.5~\text{J}\) | 4. | \(2.5~\text{J}\) |
A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass \(m\), and a string of length \(L\) is given a horizontal speed \(u\), at its lowest point as shown in the figure. As a result, it rises to \(B\), where it just comes to rest momentarily with \(OB\) horizontal.
During the motion \(AB,\)
| 1. | Work done by the string is zero |
| 2. | Work done by gravity is \(-mgL\) |
| 3. | Change in K.E. of the bob is \(-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\) |
| 4. | All the above are true |
A person of mass \(m\) ascends the stairs and goes up slowly through a height \(h\). Then,
| 1. | Work done by gravity is \(mgh\) |

| 4. | Work done by gravity is stored as gravitational \(P.E\). |
A particle of mass '\(m\)' is released from the origin, and it moves under the action of a force: \(F(x)= F_0-kx\)

A projectile is launched from a cliff of height \(h,\) with an initial speed \(u,\) at an angle \(\theta.\) The speed with which it hits the ground:
| 1. | depends on the vertical component, \(u \text{sin}\theta\) |
| 2. | depends on the horizontal component, \(u \text{cos}\theta\) |
| 3. | depends on \(u,\) but not on \(\theta\) |
| 4. | depends on the quantity \(u \text{tan}\theta\) |
A small block of mass '\(m\)' is placed against a compressed spring, of spring constant \(k\). The initial compression in the spring is '\(d\)'. The block is released and the spring relaxes, while the block is projected up to a height \(H\) relative to its initial position. Then, \(H\) =
| 1. | \(\dfrac{kd^2}{2mg}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{kd^2}{2mg}+d \) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{kd^2}{2mg}-d\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{kd^2}{mg}+d\) |
