2. In a gravity escape system (GES), an enclosed lifeboat on a large ship is deployed by letting it slide down a ramp and then continue in free fall to the water below. Suppose a 4970-kg lifeboat slides a distance of 5.00 m on a ramp, dropping through a vertical height of 2.50 m. How much work does gravity do on the boat?

Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled and victim, having a total mass of 90.0 kg, down a 60.0° slope at constant speed, as shown in Figure 7.37. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.100. (a) How much work is done by friction as the sled moves 30.0 m along the hill? (b) How much work is done by the rope on the sled in this distance? (c) What is the work done by the gravitational force on the sled? (d) What is the total work done?
Physics Review A team of huskies performs 7 440 J of work on a loaded sled of mass 124 kg, drawing it from rest up a 4.60-m high snow-covered rise while the sled loses 1 520 J due to friction, (a) What is the net work done on the sled by the huskies and friction? (b) What is the change in the sleds potential energy? (c) What is the speed of the sled at the top of the rise? (See Section 5.5.)
A boy starts at rest and slides down a frictionless slide as in Figure P5.64. The bottom of the track is a height h above the ground. The boy then leaves the track horizontally, striking the ground a distance d as shown. Using energy methods, determine the initial height H of the boy in terms of h and d. Figure P5.64
(a) A force F=(4xi+3yj), where F is in newtons and x and y are in meters, acts on an object as the object moves in the x direction from the origin to x = 5.00 m. Find the work W=Fdr done by the force on the object. (b) What If? Find the work W=Fdr done by the force on the object if it moves from the origin to (5.00 m, 5.00 m) along a straightline path making an angle of 45.0 with the positive x axis. Is the work done by this force dependent on the path taken between the initial and final points?
A particle is subject to a force Fx that varies with position as shown in Figure P7.9. Find the work done by the force on the particle as it moves (a) from x = 0 to x = 5.00 m, (b) from x = 5.00 m to x = 10.0 m, and (c) from x = 10.0 m to x = 15.0 m. (d) What is the total work done by the force over the distance x = 0 to x = 15.0 m?
a shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 35 N directed at an angle of 25 below the horizontal. The force is just sufficient to overcome various frictional forces, so the cart moves at constant speed, (a) Find the work done by the shopper as she moves down a 50.0-m length aisle, (b) What is the net work done on the cart? Why? (c) The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the work done by frictional forces doesnt change, would the shoppers applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? What about the work done on the cart by the shopper?

(b) Working at this rate, how long will it take this person to lift 2000 kg of bricks 1.50 m to a platform? (Work done to lift his body can be omitted because it is not considered useful output here.)
