A person of mass is standing on one end of a plank of mass and length and floating in water. The person moves from one end to another and stops. Work done by normal force is

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.







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.

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:





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


The diagram shows a barrel of weight on a frictionless slope inclined at to the horizontal.
The force is parallel to the slope. Whet is the work done in moving the barrel a distance of up the slope?
