A stone tied to a string of length L is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed u. The magnitude of the change in its velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal is:

1. $\sqrt{u^2-2gL}$

2. $\sqrt{2gL}$

3. $\sqrt{u^2-gl}$

4. $\sqrt{2(u^2-gL)}$

A body of mass m is moving in a circle of radius r with a constant speed v. The force on the body is $\frac{m{v}^2}{r}$ and is directed towards the centre. What is the work done by this force in moving the body over half the circumference of the circle

(1) $\frac{m{v}^2}{\pi r^2}$

(2) Zero

(3) $\frac{m{v}^2}{r^2}$

(4) $\frac{\pi r^2}{m{v}^2}$

A man pushes a wall and fails to displace it. He does:
1. negative work
2. positive but not maximum work
3. no work at all
4. maximum work

A body moves a distance of 10 m along a straight line under the action of a force of 5 N. If the work done is 25 joules, the angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is

(1) 0°

(2) 30°

(3) 60°

(4) 90°

A force acts on a 30 gm particle in such a way that the position of the particle as a function of time is given by $x=3t-4t^2+t^3$, where x is in metres and t is in seconds. The work done during the first 4 seconds is 

(1) 5.28 J

(2) 450 mJ

(3) 490 mJ

(4) 530 mJ
