Work done by a force in displacing a body is an example of

Assertion : Work done by or against gravitational force in moving a body from one point to another is independent of the actual path followed between the two points. Reason : This is because gravitational forces are conservative forces.

Shown that work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between two points is path independent.

The work done by a force vec(F)=(-6x^(3)hat(i)) N in displacing a particle from x = 4m to x = - 2m is

A force F=-k/x_2(x!=0) acts on a particle in x-direction. Find the work done by this force in displacing the particle from. x = + a to x = 2a . Here, k is a positive constant.

A particle moves in x-y plane in figure under the influence of a friction force with magnitude 3.00N and acting in the direction opposite to the particle's displacement. Calculate the work done by the friction force on particle as it moves along the following closed paths: (a) path OA followed by AC and return path AO, (b) path OA followed by AC and the return path CO, (c) path OC followed by the return path CO, and (d) each of your three answers should be non-zero. What is the significant of this observation?

A particle of mass 'm' moves along the quarter section of the circular path whose centre is at the origin . The radius of the circular path is 'a' . A force vec(F)=yhat(i)-xhat(j) newton acts on the particle, where x,y denote the coordinates of position of the particle. Calculate the work done by this force in taking, the particle from point, A(a,0) to point B(0,a) along the circular path.

If the work done is zero, then the angle between the force and displacement is
