A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that:
Its velocity is constant
Its acceleration is constant
Its kinetic energy is constant
It moves in a circular path.
a spring of force-constant k is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of the other. Then the long piece will have a force-constant of
(2/3)k
(3/2)k

A force F= -K (yî+xj) (where k is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the xy plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x axis to the point (a,0), and then parallel to the y axis to the point (a,a), The total work done by the force F on the particle is

A uniform chain of length L and mass M is lying on a smooth table and one third of its length is hanging vertically down over the edge of the table. If g is acceleration due to gravity, the work required to pull the hanging part on to the table is the work required to pull hanging part on to the table is
