- A 10 kg barbell is rolling down a hill. There is no friction or air resistance acting on it, only the force of gravity. If it starts out moving 2 ms1, and ends up moving 7 ms1, then how much work does gravity do on it?arrow_forwardA 1.9 kg book is lying on a 0.75mm high table. You pick it up and place it on a bookshelf 2.1 mm above the floor. During this process, how much work does gravity do on the book? During this process, how much work does your hand do on the book? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardYou are out on the road with your friends, when you suddenly run out of gas. You and your friends apply a cumulative force of 103 N to push the car 96 m to the nearest gas station. What is the work done on the car?arrow_forward
- A horse pulls a 300 kg sled for 50 m over level ground at constant speed, exerting a force of 3000 N at 30° above horizontal.

When it reaches the bottom of the incline its speed is 20m/s. How much work did friction do on the car? This is the full question. No acceleration given. Assistance please.arrow_forwardYou pick up a barbell with weights (total mass: 100.0 kg) from the ground to approximately 0.800 m above the ground (roughly equivalent to doing a deadlift). Once it has been lifted, you then carry it 10.0 m at a steady speed before stopping and finally gently lowering the barbell back to the ground. How much work have you done on this barbell in J?arrow_forward
- A 12.0 kg box is given an initial push that starts it sliding across the floor. It eventually comes to a stop. If the box has an initial velocity of 3.5 m/s, how much work is done by friction to cause it to come to a stop? (Yes, you are correct, you do not know the coefficient of friction.)arrow_forwardThe graph in the figure below shows the magnitude of the force ex- erted by a given spring as a function of the distance x the spring is stretched. How much work is needed to stretch this spring: (a) a distance of 5.0 cm, starting with it unstretched, and (b) from x - 2.0 cm to x = 7.0 cm?
