A ball on a rope is being swung in a horizontal circle at a constant speed. What best describes the work done by the rope?
F
The work done by the rope is dependent upon the speed at which it is rotated.
G
The work done by the rope is maximized and constant because centripetal force is constant
in this scenario.
H Since the ball does not move along the rope, there is no distance traveled and therefore no
work is done.
Since the ball is continuously changing direction, the rope is continuously doing work.
