Q31 of 48 Page 45

Give example of a situation in which an applied force does not result in a change in kinetic energy.

Imagine a pendulum doing its oscillatory motion. Now the tension due to the rod is always perpendicular to the displacement. ∴ the work done by the tension force will always be the zero and hence it will never bring about any change in kinetic energy.
