Q1/ The work done on an object is equal to the integral of the force on that object dotted with its displacent. This looks like W=[(F.ds) (W is work, F is force, and ds is the infinitesimally small displacement vector). For a force whose direction is the line of motion, the equation becomes W=[(Fdx). If the force on an object as a function of displacement is F(x)=3x2+x, what is the work as a function of displacement (using calculus application) W(x)? Assume W(0)=0 and the force is in the direction of the object's motion.

Problem 4: It should be obvious that the magnitude of a vector is independent of the choice of coordinate system. This implies that r r is the same for any set of axes. Use this to prove that the dot product of two different vectors r.s is also independent of coordinate system. [Hint: Consider the length of r + s.]
