$A$ small block of mass $m$ is kept on a rough inclined surface of inclination $\theta$ fixed in an elevator. The elevator goes up with a uniform velocity $v$ and the block does not slide on the wedge. The work done by the force of friction on the block in time $t$ as seen by the observer on the inclined plane will be

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $mgvt \cos^2 \theta$
  • C
    $mgvt \sin^2 \theta$
  • D
    $mgvt \sin 2 \theta$

When a body moves in a circular path,no work is done by the force,since

An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object to its initial position along the same path would be:

$A$ $2 \ kg$ block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of $4 \ m/s$. It strikes an uncompressed spring and compresses it until the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is $15 \ N$ and the spring constant is $10,000 \ N/m$. The spring compresses by ............. $cm$.

Underline the correct alternative:
$(a)$ When a conservative force does positive work on a body,the potential energy of the body increases/decreases/remains unaltered.
$(b)$ Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.
$(c)$ The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision of two bodies,the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/total energy of the system of two bodies.
