Questions and Answers

Which factor is NOT considered when calculating the work done on a system by an agent exerting a constant force?

  • Angle between the force and the displacement vectors
  • Magnitude of the displacement
  • Mass of the system (correct)
  • Magnitude of the force

When does a force do no work on an object?

  • When the force is perpendicular to the displacement of its point of application (correct)
  • When the force is applied to a rigid object
  • When the force is the only force acting on the object
  • When the force is applied in the same direction as the displacement

For a deformable system, what is true about the displacement associated with the forces applied?

  • It is always perpendicular to the force applied
  • It is generally not the same as the displacement of the object (correct)
  • It is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force applied
  • It is always equal to the displacement of the object
