Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A particle moves under the influence of a central force. If the radius of motion doubles, how does it affect the potential energy?

💡 Hint: Consider how potential energy varies with radius.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate the work done by a non-conservative force over a distance if the path taken is different, and energy is lost due to friction.

💡 Hint: Use the force of friction and distance to find work done against movement.
