One end of a light spring of spring constant , is fixed to a wall and the other end is tied to a block placed on a smooth horizontal surface. In a displacement, the work done by the spring is . The possible cases are


Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power
A force (power of is constant) is applied on block of mass as shown in the figure, is parallel to the inclined plane. Then:

Two bodies of mass and are connected by a light inextensible string which passes through a smooth fixed pulley as shown. Then choose the correct option(s)

The given plot shows the variation of , the potential energy of interaction between two particles with the distance separating them is . Then which of the following statements is/are correct:

A single conservative force acts on a particle that moves along the -axis. The graph of the potential energy with is given , the particle has a kinetic energy of and its potential energy is related to the position as , where is in .


In the following arrangement the pulley is assumed to be light and the string inextensible. The acceleration of the system can be determined by considering the conservation of a certain physical quantity. The physical quantity conserved and the acceleration, respectively, are
