ANSWERS

Q 7-1) The displacement ds is perpendicular to the force F.
Q 7-5) No.
Q 7-6) It quadruples.
Q 7-7) The speed is unchanged (the direction of velocity might change).
Q 7-11) The more massive bullet has twice the kinetic energy of the smaller mass bullet.
Q 7-15) Pushing on a wall: ds=0. No displacement, no work.
Tension in a string that keeps a particle in uniform circular motion: F is perdendicualr to ds, no work.
Q 8-1) If all the forces on the ball were conservative, the ball would swing back exactly to the point from which it was released. However, air resistance is non-conservative and it happens to decrease, not increase, the total mechanical energy. The ball will swing back to a lower height.
Q 8-2) Yes.
Q 8-3) They will NOT agree on the VALUE of the potential energy, but they will agree on the CHANGE in potential energy and on the kinetic energy.
Q 8-12) K is a maximum at launch and just before hitting the ground. U is a maximum at the highest point in the arc.
