Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Question

A 70-kg secret agent skies down a circular hill (radius 15 m) and grabs a 20 kg bag, then flies off a 10-m high cliff.

The initial mechanical energy of the agent at the top of the hill is 10,500 J relative to the location of the bag. If 2000 J of energy are lost to resistance forces

Determine the velocity of the agent before he picks up the bag.
What is the agent’s apparent weight right before he picks up the bag?
This looks like a really good test question that could have several more parts. Make up your own part and solve it.
