A particle is taken from point A to point B under the influence of a force field. Now it is taken back from B to A and it is observed that the work done in taking the particle from A to B is not equal to the work done in taking it from B to A. If `W_(nc)` and `W_c` are the work done by non-conservative and conservative forces present in the system, respectively, `DeltaU` is the change in potential energy and `Deltak` is the change in kinetic energy, thenA. (a) `W_(nc)-DeltaU=Deltak`B. (b) `W_c=-DeltaU`C. (c) `W_(nc)+W_(c)=Deltak`D. (d) `W_(nc)-DeltaU=-Deltak`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
According to the work-energy theorem for a non-conservative system, we have `W_c+W_(nc)=DeltaK`
Also, we know that the work done by a conservative force equals the decrease in potential energy, so `W_c=-DeltaU`
`W_(nc)-DeltaU=DeltaK`

Ram and Ali have been fast friends since childhood. Ali neglected studies and now has no means to earn money other than a channel whereas Ram has become an engineer. Now both are working in the same factory. Ali uses camel to transport the load within the factory. Due to low salary and degradation in health of camel, Ali becomes worried and meets his friend Ram and discusses his problems. Ram collected some data and with some assumptions concluded the following: i. The load used in each trip is `1000kg` and has friction coefficient `mu_k=0.1` and `mu_s=0.2`. ii. Mass of camel is `500kg`. iii. Load is accelerated for first `50m` with constant acceleration, then it is pulled at a constant speed of `5ms^-1` for `2km` and at last stopped with constant retardation in `50m`. iv. From biological data, the rate of consumption of energy of camel can be expressed as `P=18xx10^3v+10^4Js^-1` where P is the power and v is the velocity of the camel. After calculations on different issues, Ram suggested proper food, speed of camel, etc. to his friend. For the welfare of Ali, Ram wrote a letter to the management to increase his salary. (Assuming that the camel exerts a horizontal force on the load): The ratio of the energy consumed by the camel during uniform motion for the two cases when it moves with speed `5ms^-1` to the case when it moves with `10ms^-1`A.

`P=18xx10^3v+10^4Js^-1`
`P_5=18xx10^3xx5+10^4Js^-1=10^5Js^-1`
and `Deltat_5=(2000m)/(5ms^-1)=400s`
`P_10=18xx10^3xx10xx10^4Js^-1`
`Deltat_10=(200m)/(10ms^-1)=200s`
`W_5/W_10=(10^4(9+1)xx400)/(10^4(18+1)xx200)=20/19`

A body of mass `1 kg` begins to move under the action of a time dependent force `vec F = (2 t hat I + 3 t^(2) hat j) N`, where `hat i` and `hat j` are unit vectors along x-and y-axes. What power will be developed by the force at the time `t` ?A. `(2t^(2)+4t^(4))W`B. `(2t^(3)+3t^(4))W`C. `(2t^(3)+3t^(5))W`D. `(2t+3t^(3))W`

Answer» Correct Answer - c
`(c )` According to question, a body of mass 1 kg begins to move under the action of time dependent force,
`F=(2thati+3t^(2)hatj)N`
Where` hati "and" hatj` are unit vectors along X and Y-axes.
`thereforeF=ma`
`implies a=F/m`
`impliesa=((2thati+3^(2)thatj))/(1)" "(therefore m=1kg)`
`impliesa=(2thati+3^(2)thatj)m//s^(2)`
`therefore` accelaration, `a=(dv)/(dt)`
`implies" "dv= a dt`
Integrating both sides, we get
`intdv=inta" "dt=int(2thati+3t hatj)dt`
`v=t^(2)hati+t^(3)hatj`
`therefore` Power developed by the force at the time t will be given as
`P=F.v=(2thati+3thatj).(t^(2)hati+t^(3)hatj)`
`=(2t.t^(2)+3t^(2).t^(3))`
`P=(2t^(3)+3t^(5))W`

`=4hatj +3hatk-(-2hati+5hatj)=2hati-hatj+3hatk`
Force on the particle ,`F=4hati +3hatj` N
`therefore` work done, `W=F.Deltas=(4hati+3hatj).(2hati-hatj+3hatk)`
`=8-35J`

A horizontal plane supports a plank with a block placed on it. A light elastic string is attached to the block, which is attached to a fixed point O. Initially, the cord is unstretched and vertical. The plank is slowly shifted to right until the block starts sliding over it. It occurs at the moment when the cord deviates from vertical by an angle `theta=0^@`. Work done by the force F equals A. (a) Energy lost against friction `F_1` plus strain energy in cordB. (b) Work done against total friction acting on the plank aloneC. (c) Work done against total friction acting on the plank plus strain energy in the cordD. (d) Work done against total friction acting on the plank plus strain energy in the cord minus work done by friction acting on the block

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D
When the plank is shifted, the cord elongates and becomes inclined with vertical. Therefore, a tenstion is developed in the cord and that tension has two components, a vertical component and a horizontal component: Horizontal component tries to slide the block leftwards, relative to the plank. But friction `F_2` prevents that slipping. Hence, the block moves to the right with the plank.
Since the block does not slip over the plank, no energy is lost against friction `F_2`. Hence, work done by the force F is used to overcome loss against friction `F_1` and to elongate the cord. Therefore, option (a) is correct.
The cord elongates due to displacement of the block and the block gets displaced due to friction `F_2` acting on it. Hence, the friction `F_2` is responsible for the elongation of the cord. Therefore, strain energy stored in the cord is equal to work done by the friction on the block or work done against friction acting on the upper surface of the plank. Hence, the total work done by F is equal to energy lost against friction `F_1` plus work done against friction acting on upper surface of the plank. Therefore, option (b) is correct. Hence, it is obvious that option (c) is wrong.
Since, strain energy stored in the cord is equal to work done by friction acting on the block, option (d) becomes same as option (b). Hence, it is also correct.

A body is displaced from prigin to (1m,1m) by force `F=(2yhati + 3x^(2)hatj)` along two paths (a) `x=y` (b) `y=x^(2)` Find the work done along both paths.

Answer» `F=(2yhati + 3x^(2)hatj)`
`dr=(dxhati + dyhatj)`
`F.dr=(2ydx + 3x^(2)dy)`
We cannot integrate F.dr or `(2ydx + 3x^(2)dy)` as such to find the work done. But along the given paths we can change this expression.
(a) Along the path `x = y`
`(2y dx + 3x^(2)dy) = (2x dx + 3y^(2)dy)`
`W_(1) = int_(0,0)^(1m,1m,)F.dr =int_(0,0)^(1m,1m)(2xdx + 3y^(2)dy)`
`=[x^(2) + y^(3)] _(0,0)^(1m,1m)`
`=(1)^(2) + (1)^(3)=2J`
(b) Along the path `y=x^(2)`
`(2ydx + 3x^(2)dy) =(2x^(2)dx + 3ydy)`
`:. W=(2)=int_(0,0)^(1m,1m)F.df =int(2x^(2)dx + 3y dy)`
`=[2/3x^3 + 3/2y^(2)]_(0,0)^(1m,1m)`
`=(13)/6 J`

The casing of a rocket in flight burns up due to friction. At whose expense is the heat energy required for burning obtained? The rocket or the atmosphere?

Answer»

Rocket
The burning of the casing of a rocket in flight (due to friction) results in the reduction of the mass of the rocket.
According to the conservation of energy:

Total Energy (T.E.)=Potential energy (P.E)+Kinetic energy (K.E)

=mgh+1/2mv2

The reduction in the rocket’s mass causes a drop in the total energy. Therefore, the heat energy required for the burning is obtained from the rocket.​

Comets move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. The gravitational force on the comet due to the sun is not normal to the comet’s velocity in general. Yet the work done by the gravitational force over every complete orbit of the comet is zero. Why?

Answer»

Gravitational force is a conservative force. Since the work done by a conservative force over a closed path is zero, the work done by the gravitational force over every complete orbit of a comet is zero.

An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth?

Answer»

When an artificial satellite, orbiting around earth, moves closer to earth, its potential energy decreases because of the reduction in the height. Since the total energy of the system remains constant, the reduction in P.E. results in an increase in K.E. Hence, the velocity of the satellite increases. However, due to atmospheric friction, the total energy of the satellite decreases by a small amount.
