Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power

A boy throws a cricket ball from the boundary to the wicket keeper. If the frictional force due to air cannot be ignored, the forces acting on the ball at the position are represented by



A maximum of force can be applied on a block, down the incline, that would still not move the block which is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is . The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is





Two masses connected in series with two massless strings are hanging from a support as shown in the figure. Find the tension in the upper string



Two blocks and are placed one over the other on a smooth horizontal surface. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied on lower block , so that and move without separation is . The coefficient of friction between and is

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





The length of a metal wire is when the tension in it is and is when the tension is The natural length of the wire is:
