- A 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 78 kg, and the height of the water slide is 10.8 m. If the kinetic frictional force does -5.8 x 103 J of work, how fast is the student going at the bottom of the slide? Vf =arrow_forwardA constant 82.5-N force acts on a 6.54-kg box. The box initially is moving at 20.5 m/s in the direction of the force, and some time later the box is moving at 57.7 m/s. Determine the work (in J) done by this force. You may assume that only one force acts on the box.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 box of mass 12.0 kg begins at rest, and is accelerated at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 by a force F for 10.0 seconds. What is the work done by the force F?arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. 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.

- A water-skier is being pulled by a tow rope attached to a boat. As the driver pushes the throttle forward, the skier accelerates. A 73.5-kg water-skier has an initial speed of 5.2 m/s. Later, the speed increases to 12.2 m/s. Determine the work done by the net external force acting on the skier.
