27
PU11 Physics Question Bank – COM& COE (Work Energy & Power)
Where (K + V) is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the body remains a
Constant for the entire path i.e from Xi to Xf
In general, the quantity K+V (x) is called the total mechanical energy of the system.
However the kinetic energy K and the potential energy V (x) may vary from point to point, but the
sum remains a constant and the force is conservative
From eq (4) – it is clear that work done by the conservation force depends on initial & final positions
of body.
If Xi=Xf. i.e for a closed path work done by the force is zero.
Thus the total mechanical energy of a system is conserved, if the force doing work on it, are
conservative.

3. A metal bob is tied to one of an inextensible string of negligible mass and is rotated in a vertical circle of
radius 8m. If the speed of the sphere at the highest point of the circle is 80mS -1. Calculate its speed at the
lowest point of the circle (g= 10mS-2)
Solution:
Let m be the mass of the metal sphere, Radius of the circle r=8m
Speed at the highest point U = 80 mS-1
Let –V’ be the speed at the lowest point of the circle, According to the law of conservation of energy.

b) One of the convenient part should be chosen as one system
c) A separate diagram which shows this system and the forces acting on it is written
d) The magnitude and the directions of all the forces are represented.
e) The rest should be treated as unknown to be determined using Newton’s laws of motion
f) The remaining part of the problem can be solved by considering another part of the diagram and
Newton’s third law of motion.
