COMEDK · Physics · 6. Work Power Energy

A \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) mass lying on a table is displaced in the horizontal direction through \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\). The work done by the normal reaction will be

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B 0
  3. C \(100 \mathrm{erg}\)
  4. D \(100 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, displacement on the body of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) is in the horizontal direction while normal reaction acts on the body in perpendicular to the displacement. Hence, \(\quad \theta=0\) \(\therefore\) Work done, \(W=F s \cos 90^{\circ}=0\)
