The diagrams at right show two identical gliders that move to the right without friction. The hands exert identical, horizontal forces on the gliders. The second glider experiences an additional, smaller force from a massless string held as shown.
Suppose the gliders move through identical displacements.
Is the work done on glider 1 by the hand greater than, less than, or equal to the work done on glider 2 by the hand? Explain.
Is the change in kinetic energy of glider 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the change in kinetic energy of glider 2? Base your answer on your knowledge of the net work done on each object.
