MCQ
Path length does not depend on ____.
- AInitial point
- BFinal point
- CPath taken
- DCoordinate system
✓
Answer
- Coordinate system
Explanation:
The path length depends on the final and initial point. It also depends on the path taken. But it does not depend on the coordinate system. The coordinate system merely defines thee path and does not affect its total length.

A particle of mass $1 kg$ is subjected to a force which depends on the position as $\vec{F}=-k(x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}) kgms ^{-2}$ with $k=1 kgs ^{-2}$. At time $t=0$, the particle's position $\vec{r}=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{i}+\sqrt{2} \hat{j}\right) m$ and its velocity $\vec{v}=\left(-\sqrt{2} \hat{i}+\sqrt{2} \hat{j}+\frac{2}{\pi} \hat{k}\right) m s^{-1}$. Let $v_x$ and $v_y$ denote the $x$ and the $y$ components of the particle's velocity, respectively. Ignore gravity. When $z=0.5 m$, the value of $\left(x v_y-y v_x\right)$ is. . . . . $m^2 s^{-1}$
