A force does work on a particle as the particle moves along the following straight paths in the -plane: from to ; from to; from to ; from to ; and from to.
a. Is this a conservative force?
b. If the zero of potential energy is at the origin, what is the potential energy at ?
In a physics lab experiment, a compressed spring launches a metal ball at a angle. Compressing the spring causes the ball to hit the floor below the point at which it leaves the spring after traveling horizontally. What is the spring constant?
What is the final kinetic energy of the system for the process shown in ?

An object moving in the xy-plane is subjected to the force , where x and y are in m.
a. The particle moves from the origin to the point with coordinates by moving first along the x-axis to , then parallel to the y-axis. How much work does the force do?
b. The particle moves from the origin to the point with coordinates by moving first along the y-axis to , then parallel to thex-axis. How much work does the force do?
c. Is this a conservative force?
