A body of mass m is moving in a circle of radius r with a constant speed v. The force on the body is mv2/r and it is directed towards the centre. What is the work done by this force in moving the body over half the circumference of the circle?
  1. \(\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{r} \times \pi \mathrm{r}}\)
  2. zero
  3. \(\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}\)
  4. \(\frac{\pi r^{2}}{m v^{2}}\)

Answer

(B) zero
