Question 43





A -kg particle moves from the origin to position C, having coordinates x = 5.00 m and y = 5.00 m (Fig. P7.43). One force on the particle is the gravitational force acting in the negative y direction. Using Equation 7.3, calculate the work done by the gravitational force on the particle as it goes from O to C along (a) the purple path, (b) the red path, and (c) the blue path. (d) Your results should all be identical. Why where th = ° , s = and a =
