The force required to compress a non-standard spring as a function of displacement from equilibrium x is given by the equation F(x) = ax2 - bx, where a = 45 N/m2, b = 12 N/m, and the positive x direction is in the compression direction of the spring. Write a general equation in terms of the given variables for the work required to compress this spring from equilibrium to any point xp. Calculate the work done, in joules, on the spring as it is compressed from x1 = 56 cm to x2 = 84 cm.
A shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 41 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 42.0-m length aisle.

Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. J (b) What is the net work done on the cart? Why? This answer has not been graded yet. (c) The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the work done by frictional forces doesn't change, would the shopper's applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? What about the work done on the cart by the shopper? This answer has not been graded yet.
Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 40.0 m/s, and uses 1.90 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is 1.30 x 103 ) per gallon.) (a) What is the force (in N) exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many gallons will be used to drive 108 km at a speed of 28.0 m/s? gallons
