Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power

A lawn roller has been pushed through a distance of by applying a force of wt in a direction inclined at with the ground. Calculate the work done on the roller.





Identify the correct statements from the following:
(A) Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket is negative
(B) Work done by gravitational force in lifting a bucket out of a well by a rope tied to the bucket is negative
(C) Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is positive
(D) Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity is zero
(E) Work done by the air resistance on an oscillating pendulum is negative
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:




Assertion : The work done by the electrostatic force is zero when a point charge moves in a circular path around another charge.
Reason : The dot product of force and displacement vectors gives work done.




F = ax + bx2 where a and b are constants. The work done in stretching the unstretched rubber-band by L is :



A block of mass slides from rest at a height on a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. It travels a distance across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction and compresses a spring of spring constant by a distance before coming to rest momentarily. Then the spring extends and the block travels back attaining a final height of .
Then
