$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal with initial velocity $u \ m/s$. What is the work done by gravity during the time it reaches its highest point?

  • A
    $u^2 \sin^2 \alpha$
  • B
    $\frac{m u^2 \cos^2 \alpha}{2}$
  • C
    $-\frac{m u^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m u^2 g \sin^2 \alpha}{2}$

$A$ force $\vec F = 6\hat i + 2\hat j - 3\hat k$ acts on a particle,causing a displacement $\vec d = 2\hat i - 3\hat j + c\hat k$. If the work done during this process is zero,find the value of $c$.

$A$ particle moves in the $x-y$ plane under the action of a force,$F = K \left[ \frac{x}{(x^2+y^2)^{3/2}} \hat{i} + \frac{y}{(x^2+y^2)^{3/2}} \hat{j} \right]$,where $K$ is a constant.
