= Which force? =

Friction, air resistance, tension, spring force, normal force, etc. are all due to

  A. Gravitational force
  A. Electromagnetic force
  A. Strong force
  A. Weak force

Ans. A
Line 7: Line 18:

Ans. What do you mean by contact? Does exchanging photons/gravitons count as contact?

= The work energy "theorem" =

The work energy theorem, $\Delta T = W$ where $T$ is the kinetic energy (and $\Delta T = T_2 - T_1$ is its change) and $W$ is the net work done on the particle, is

  A. always valid (in classical mechanics).
  A. valid only for conservative forces.

Which force?

Friction, air resistance, tension, spring force, normal force, etc. are all due to

  1. Gravitational force
  2. Electromagnetic force
  3. Strong force
  4. Weak force

Ans. A

The force is everywhere

When two objects exchange forces, they can do so without having to contact each other.

  1. Yes
  2. No

Ans. What do you mean by contact? Does exchanging photons/gravitons count as contact?

The work energy “theorem”

The work energy theorem, $\Delta T = W$ where $T$ is the kinetic energy (and $\Delta T = T_2 - T_1$ is its change) and $W$ is the net work done on the particle, is

  1. always valid (in classical mechanics).
  2. valid only for conservative forces.
