3. A 0.50-kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external force of 3.0 N, always tangent to the track, causes the object to speed up as it goes around. The work done by the external force as the mass makes one revolution is:

B.47 J
C.59 J
D.94 J
E.120 J


4. A 2-kg object is moving at 3 m/s. A 4-N force is applied in the direction of motion and then removed after the object has traveled an additional 5 m. The work done by this force is:
A.12 J
B.15 J
C.18 J
D.20 J
E.38 J


5. When a certain rubber band is stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude F = Ax, where A is a constant. The work done by a person in stretching this rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is:
A.AL2
B.A + 2L
C.A + 2L2
D.A/L
E.AL2/2


6. Which of the following bodies has the largest kinetic energy?

B.Mass 3M and speed 2V
C.Mass 2M and speed 3V
D.Mass M and speed 4V
E.All four of the above have the same kinetic energy


7. An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. When a 2.0-kg mass hangs at rest from it the spring is extended 6.0 cm from its equilibrium length. An upward external force is then applied to the mass to compress the spring so it is 10 cm shorter than its equilibrium length. While the spring is being compressed the work done by the spring is:
A.–1.0 J
B.–0.52 J
C.–0.26 J
D.0.52 J
E.1.0 J


8. The velocity of a particle moving along the x axis changes from vi to vf. For which values of vi and vf is the total work done on the particle negative?

B.vi = –2m/s, vf = 5m/s
C.vi = –2m/s, vf = –5m/s
D.vi = 2m/s, vf = -5m/s
E.vi = –5m/s, vf = 2m/s


9. In raising an object to a given height by means of an inclined plane, as compared with raising the object vertically, there is a reduction in:
A.work required
B.distance pushed
C.friction
D.force required
E.value of the acceleration due to gravity


10. A watt is:
A.kg × m/s3
B.kg × m2/s
C.kg × m2/s3
D.kg × m/s
E.kg × m2/s2


11. A kilowatt hour is a unit of:
