What is the difference between work done on a body by a force and work done by a body?

  • A
    Work done on a body increases its energy,while work done by a body decreases its energy.
  • B
    Work done on a body decreases its energy,while work done by a body increases its energy.
  • C
    Both represent the same physical process.
  • D
    Work done on a body is always zero,while work done by a body is always positive.

$A$ demonstration apparatus on a table in the lab is shown in the diagram. It consists of a metal track (shown as a thick solid line in the figure) along which a perfectly spherical marble can roll without slipping. In one run,the marble is released from rest at a height $h$ above the table on the left section,rolls down one side and then up the other side without slipping,briefly stopping when it has reached $h_1$. Assuming the table to be horizontal and neglecting air drag as well as any energy loss due to rolling,which of the following is true?

$A$ bob of a pendulum of length $0.5 \ m$ has a speed of $6 \ ms^{-1}$ at its lowest point. Find the speed of the bob when the string of the pendulum makes $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. (Take $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$)

$A$ closed circular tube of average radius $15\,cm$,whose inner walls are rough,is kept in a vertical plane. $A$ block of mass $1\,kg$ just fits inside the tube. The speed of the block is $22\,m/s$ when it is introduced at the top of the tube. After completing five oscillations,the block stops at the bottom region of the tube. The work done by the tube on the block is $......J$. [Given $g=10\,m/s^2$]

$A$ body of mass $1 \ kg$ is under a force, which causes a displacement given by $x = \frac{t^3}{3}$ (in $m$). Find the work done by the force in the first second (in $J$).

$A$ mass of $2 \ kg$,initially at a height of $1.2 \ m$ above an uncompressed spring with spring constant $2 \times 10^4 \ N/m$,is released from rest to fall on the spring. Taking the acceleration due to gravity as $10 \ m/s^2$ and neglecting air resistance,the compression of the spring in $mm$ is:
