- Spiderman, whose mass is 78.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.4-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 0 = 59.4° angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this maneuver? kJarrow_forwardA roller coaster of mass 80.0 kg is moving with a speed of 12.0 m/s at position A as shown in the figure.

As drag slows down the meteor, its energy is converted into thermal energy. A typical meteor may only weigh 2 grams, and enters the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 100,000 mph. Assuming that all of its energy is converted into thermal energy over a time of just 3 seconds, what is the power output of the shooting star? How does this compare to the power output of a typical household lightbulb?arrow_forwardA 2-kg brick is thrown downward from a height ?1 = 15 m to ?2 = 10 m. The initial kinetic energy of the brick is ??1 = 25 J. You can use ? = 10 m/s for convenience of calculation. Assume air resistance is negligible, and nothing heats up or uses fuel during the motion of the brick.1. If the system of interest is the brick alone, how much work is done by external forces during this motion?arrow_forward
- How much work must be done by frictional forces in slowing a 1000.0 kg car from 19.8 m/s to rest?

The (non-conservative) force propelling a 1.10 x 10-kg car up a mountain road does 7.50 x 106 J of work on the car. The car starts from rest at sea level and has a speed of 26.0 m/s at an altitude of 2.20 x 102 m above sea level. Obtain the work done on the car by the combined forces of friction and air resistance, both of which are non-conservative forces.

The track has many twists and turns with a total height of 102.75 m. If the 99.375 kg man has a speed of 27 m/s at the bottom, what was the total work done on him by friction and air resistance slowing him down? (In other words, what was the energy lost to friction and air resistance?) He starts from rest at the top. 6.3843e4 Previous submissions: -63.84 63.84 63843 J J incorrectarrow_forwardA 0.31-kg particle has a speed of 3.0 m/s at point A and kinetic energy of 8.2 J at point B.
