3 A crate is lifted by a force F which is greater in magnitude than the crate’s weight W. The change in kinetic energy of the crate during this time is equal to the
A work done by the net force (F W) B work done by F C
work done by W
D
the change in momentum of the rock before and after this time
E
the change in the potential energy of the rock before and after this time.

5 A pencil is moved from point A to point B along a curved path. The work done by the gravitational force on the pencil depends on which of the following:
A the velocity of the object
as it moves between A and B
B
the positions of points A and B
C
the path taken between A and B
D
both the positions of A and B and the path taken between them
E
