A particle is moving in a circular path of radius $$a$$ under the action of an attractive potential $$U = - {k \over {2{r^2}}}$$ Its total energy is:

An object is dropped from a height h from the ground. Every time it hits the ground it looses 50% of its kinetic energy. The total distance covered as t $$ \to $$ $$\infty $$ is :

A time dependent force F = 6t acts on a particle of mass 1 kg. If the particle starts from rest, the work done by the force during the first 1 sec. will be:

A body of mass m = 10^–2 kg is moving in a medium and experiences a frictional force F = –kv². Its initial speed is v₀ = 10 ms^–1. If, after 10 s, its energy is $${1 \over 8}mv_0^2$$, the value of k will be:
