Write the expression for the work-energy theorem.
Here,
For a particle moving in straight line, i.e. its direction of motion is not changing, if its speed changes with time then, the net work done on it will be non-zero while if its speed is constant then, the net work done on it will be zero.
Conclusion:
Thus, for a particle moving in straight line, i.e. its direction of motion is not changing, and its speed changing with time then, the net work done on it will be non-zero. Hence, the given statement is true.

According to the work energy theorem, the net or total work done on a particle is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
Write the expression for the work-energy theorem.
Here,
For a particle at rest, the speed is zero throughout and thus, work done on it will be zero.
Conclusion:
Thus, for a particle at constant rest, the initial and final velocities of the particle are same and thus work done is zero.

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The work done on a particle is given by the dot product of force acting on it and its displacement.
For a particle experiencing a force in a particular direction and having a displacement, the work done on it is given by the dot product of force acting on it and its displacement.
If the angle between force and displacement is
Conclusion:
Thus, if a force is always perpendicular to the velocity of particle, the angle betweenforce and displacement is

- Jack Sparrow and his crew snuck up on their enemies by submerging an upturned wooden rowboat and breathing in an air pocket in the upside-down boat's cavity. What stupidly large force would be needed to hold such a boat underwater? The total volume of the wood is 0.0686 m3 and the density of the boat is 380. kg/m3. It will hold 5.28 m3 of air which has a density of 1.20 kg/m3. The density of water is 1000. kg/m3.arrow_forwardA high-speed lifting mechanism supports an 881 kg object with a steel cable that is 22.0 m long and 4.00 cm^2 in cross-sectional area. Young's modulus for steel is 20.0 ⋅10^10 Pa. The elongation of the cable is 2.377x10^-3 m. By what amount does the cable increase in length if the object is accelerated upwards at a rate of 3.11 m/s2?arrow_forwardLet us assume you are lifting out a 179 lb sheep. The density of the air around the balloon is 1.23 kg/m3 and the density of the air inside the balloon is 0.946 kg/m3. If the sheep accelerates upwards at 4.84 m/s2, what is the volume of the balloon? 1 kg = 2.20 lbsarrow_forward

Also show the angle that C makes with the negative y-axis: call the latter angle 8. Finally, show the smallest angles that C makes with the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis: call these angles p1 and p2, repectively. a) Prove the following formulas for the components of C involving the standard angle (hint: start with the formulas for the components based on the angle & and then use (look up if necessary) co-function identities linking cosine and sine of 8 to sine and cosine of 0 since 8 = 3π/2-8 (this will switch cosine and sine around and eliminate - signs as well)) - C=Ccose C₁=Csine b) Prove the following formulas for the components of C: C=Ccosp1 C=Ccosp2arrow_forwardNotation matters when working with vectors!
