Question
A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising the helicopter. An 740-kg helicopter rises from rest to a speed of 9.5 m/s in a time of 4.0 s. During this time it climbs to a height of 7.4 m. What is the average power generated by the lifting force?

- 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.

(a) How much work is required to pull him 60 m up a 30 degree slope (frictionless) at a constant speed of 2 m/s? (b) What power must a motor have to perform this task? Problem 2: Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stands at rest facing the center, within arm's reach of the other two. On a signal, each skater pushes themselves away from the other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, Skater A with mass 80 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 3.5 m/s and skater B with mass 75 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 4 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 90 kg Skater C's velocity after the push. Assume a birds-eye view of the situation for your coordinates.arrow_forward
- A football player is dragging a 100 kg sled across an Astroturf field at a constant speed of 5 m/s via a rope tied around his waist. Assume the rope is horizontal with the ground and that the tension in the rope is 500 N. What is the power output of the football player?arrow_forwardA plane weighing 223 kN (22.7 tons) lands on an aircraft carrier. The plane is moving horizontally at 65.3 m/s (146.1 mi/h) when its tailhook grabs hold of the arresting cables. The cables bring the plane to a stop in a distance of 84.0 m.How much work is done on the plane by the arresting cables?arrow_forwardA person pulls a 20 kg heavy box horizontally, which slides at a constant speed. The person makes a force of 60 N in the first 6.88 m. Then she starts to get tired. The force it exerts then begins to decrease linearly until it extinguishes in the next 6.88 m. The moment the person's strength runs out, the box no longer moves. How much work did this person do on the box? What is the starting speed of the box?arrow_forward

- A leaky bucket, which weighs 5 N empty and initially has 40 N worth of water in it, is lifted into the air by a rope which weighs .5 N/m at a constant speed of one meter per second.

What is the work done by the 10 N force on the object along the inclined plane?arrow_forwardA student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force) acts on her. The student has a mass of 81 kg, and the height of the water slide is 11.8 m.
