A block of mass 100 g is moved with a speed of 5.0 ms-1 at the highest point in a closed circular tube of radius 10 cm kept in a vertical plane. The cross-section of the tube is such that the block just fits in it. The block makes several oscillations inside the tube and finally stops at the lowest point. Find the work done by the tube on the block during the process.

A block of mass m sits at rest on a frictionless table in a train that is moving with speed vc (w.r.t. ground) along a straight horizontal track (figure). A person in the train pushes on the block with a net horizontal force F for a time t in the direction of the car’s motion.

(i) What is the final speed of the block according to a person on the train?

(ii) What is the final speed of the block according to a person standing on the ground outside the train?

(iii) How much did the kinetic energy of the block change according to the person in the car?

(iv) How much did the kinetic energy of the block change according to the person on the ground?

(v) In terms of F, m and t how far did the force displace the object according to the person in the car?

(vi) According to the person on the ground?

(vii) How much work does each say the force did?

(viii) Compare the work done to the KE gain according to each person.

(ix) What can you conclude from this computation?
