Answer to Problem 1OQ

Solution:

The gravity is the factor which was assumed to be the cause of the slowing down of the expansion of the universe in earlier days. Therefore, option c is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Option a is wrong since, there is no frictional force present.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the randomness of the universe increases with time. So, this is not the cause of slowing down. Therefore, option b is wrong.

Due to the gravity or gravitational force, the process of expansion may slow down due to the gravitational attraction between objects. So, option c is correct.

The electromagnetic force may be either attractive or repulsive. So, option d is wrong.

Conclusion:

Option c is correct.

Imagine a planet where gravity mysteriously acts tangent to the equator and in the eastward directioninstead of radially inward. Would this force do work on an object moving on the earth? What is the sign ofthe work, and does it depend on the path taken? Explain by using the work integral and provide a sketch ofthe force and displacement vectors. Provide quantitative examples.
If a force does zero net work on an object over a closed loop, does that guarantee the force is conservative? Explain with an example or counterexample
A futuristic amusement ride spins riders in a horizontal circle of radius 5 m at a constant speed. Thefloor drops away, leaving riders pinned to the wall by friction (coefficient µ = 0.4). What minimum speedensures they don’t slip, given g = 10 m/s²? Draw diagram (or a few) showing all forces, thevelocity of the rider, and their acceleration
