Paragraph for question nos. 4 to 6
The kinetic energy of any body depends on the frame of reference of the observer. The kinetic energy
is given by 1/2 mv
2
rel
. Similarly the displacement of the object fromdifferent frames of reference will
be different. But the forces acting on the body remain unchanged. So work done by the forces as
seen from different frames will be different. But work energy theorem will still be hold in every inertial
reference frame.
For example, if a block of mass 2 kg is moving with velocity of 1 m/s towards east on a rough surface,
its K.E. =

Q.8 A block of mass M is suspended froma massless ideal spring of spring constant k. The coordinate system
is defined so that y is directed vertically upwards and y =0 when the spring is at its natural (i.e., unstretched)
length. The mass is first positioned at y =0, and then lowered gently until it is hanging freely fromthe spring.

eq

(iii) What was the work done by the spring force?
(iv) Was there any other agent that did work on the block? If so, what was it,
and how much work did it do?

it crosses y =y
