Reading the theorem

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Question
    The work-energy theorem relates work to a change in
    Choices
    1. potential energy
    2. kinetic energy
    3. momentum
    Correct choice
    kinetic energy
  2. Question
    The work in question is done by
    Choices
    1. gravity only
    2. friction only
    3. the net force
    Correct choice
    the net force
  3. Question
    For a conservative force, work round a closed path is
    Choices
    1. zero
    2. maximum
    3. negative
    Correct choice
    zero
  4. Question
    A potential energy function can be defined for
    Choices
    1. any force
    2. a conservative force
    3. friction
    Correct choice
    a conservative force

Assertion and reason

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Reason
    The work it does depends on the path, and is not zero round a loop.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Friction is not a conservative force.
  2. Reason
    Gravity is conservative, and conservative forces admit such a function.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    A potential energy can be defined for gravity.
  3. Reason
    Net work equals the change in kinetic energy.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    A body's speed changes when net work is done on it.
  4. Reason
    Work is done whenever a force acts through a displacement.
    Verdict
    The assertion is false and the reason is true.
    Assertion
    Every force is conservative.
The reason must genuinely explain the assertion. Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 5 Work, Energy and Power.
