Question
Is it possible to exert a force which does work on a body without changing its kinetic energy. If, so give example.

Answer

Yes, When spring is compressed or when a body is pulled with a constant velocity on a rough horizontal surface.

A particle is projected in air at an angle $\beta$ to a surface which itself is inclined at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal (Fig.).

  1. Find an expression of range on the plane surface (distance on the plane from the point of projection at which particle will hit the surface).
(Hint: This problem can be solved in two different ways:

  1. Point P at which particle hits the plane can be seen as intersection of its trajectory (parobola) and straight line. Remember particle is projected at an angle $(\alpha+\beta)$ w.r.t. horizontal.
  2. We can take x-direction along the plane and y-direction perpendicular to the plane. In that case resolve g (acceleration due to gravity) in two differrent components, gx along the plane and gy perpendicular to the plane. Now the problem can be solved as two independent motions in x and y directions respectively with time as a common parameter.)
