The work done by the external forces on a system equals the change in:
1. total energy
2. kinetic energy
3. potential energy
4. none of these
A small block of mass \(m\) is kept on a rough inclined surface of inclination \(\theta\) fixed in an elevator. The elevator goes up with a uniform velocity \(v\) and the block does not slide on the wedge. The work done by the force of friction on the block in time \(t\) will be:
1. zero
2. \(mgvt ~cos^2\theta\)
3. \(mgvt ~sin^2\theta\)
4. \(mgvt ~sin2\theta\)
A block of mass \(m\) slides down a smooth vertical circular track. During the motion, the block is in:
1. vertical equilibrium
2. horizontal equilibrium
3. radial equilibrium
4. none of these
A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that:
(A) | Its velocity is constant. |
(B) | Its acceleration is constant. |
(C) | Its kinetic energy is constant. |
(D) | It moves in a circular path. |
Choose the correct option from the options given below:
1. | (A) and (B) only |
2. | (B) and (C) only |
3. | (C) and (D) only |
4. | (A) and (C) only |
Consider two observers moving with respect to each other at a speed v along a straight line. They observe a block of mass m moving a distance I on a rough surface. The following quantities will be same as observed by the two observers
1. kinetic energy of the block at time t
2. work done by friction
3. total work done on the block
4. acceleration of the block
No work is done by a force on an object if:
a. | the force is always perpendicular to its velocity. |
b. | the force is always perpendicular to its acceleration. |
c. | the object is stationary but the point of application of the force moves on the object. |
d. | the object moves in such a way that the point of application of the force remains fixed. |
Choose the correct option:
1. | (a), (b), (c) |
2. | (a), (c), (d) |
3. | (b), (c), (d) |
4. | all of the above |
