Work-Energy Theorem — Prelims Questions
A block of mass is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. A horizontal force of is applied to the block. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is , what is the kinetic energy of the block after it has moved ?
A particle of mass is projected vertically upwards with an initial speed . Ignoring air resistance, what is the work done by gravity on the particle when it reaches its maximum height?
A ball is dropped from a height of . What is its speed just before hitting the ground? (Assume and ignore air resistance).
A block slides down a frictionless incline of length and angle . If it starts from rest, what is its speed at the bottom of the incline? (Take )
A spring with spring constant is compressed by . A mass is placed against it and then released. What is the speed of the mass when it leaves the spring?
A object is moving at . A constant braking force of is applied to it. How far does the object travel before coming to rest?
