(b). A force F = (6iˆ − 2 ˆj ) N acts on a particle that undergoes a displacement r = (3iˆ + ˆj ) m. Find:
(i). the work done by the force on the particle and (ii). the angle between F and  r.
(c). A constant force of 12 N in the positive x direction acts on a 4.0-kg object as it moves from the

block between A and B is 1.2 N and points A and B are 0.5 m apart. If the kinetic energies of the
block at A and B are 4.0 J and 5.6 J, respectively, how much work is done on the block by the force P
between A and B?

(c). The only force acting on a 2.0-kg body as it moves along the x axis is given by Fx = (12 − 2.0x)

4. (a). State the two (2) properties of conservative forces.


(b). State the relationship between a conservative force (F) and potential energy (U).
(c). A single conservative force Fx = (6.0x − 12) N (x is in m) acts on a particle moving along the x
axis. The potential energy associated with this force is assigned a value of +20 J at x = 0. What is the
potential energy at x = 3.0 m?
(d). A 0.40-kg particle moves under the influence of a single conservative force. At point A where the
particle has a speed of 10 m/s, the potential energy associated with the conservative force is +40 J. As
the particle moves from A to B, the force does +25 J of work on the particle. What is the value of the
potential energy at point B?

cloud’s position?
