Question
A spring workout can be modeled by Hooke's law F = kx
where k is force constant. When the spring is fully
stretched, its length is increased from 0.6m to 1.1 m and the force applied is 600 N. How much is the work done
by your pull?

- A box with with a mass m = 2kg is being pushed up a ramp by an unknown pushing force Fp. The coefficient of static friction between the box and interface is 0.7. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and interface is 0.6. The incline of the ramp is 15 degrees. The velocity of the box is constant. The surface of the ramp is 12 m. What is the work done by normal force while the box is being pushed the entire length of the ramp? [ I think that it is 0 N, since the x component of normal force which is parallel to motion is 0.

- In the arrangement of the first figure, we gradually pull the block from x = 0 to x = +3.0 cm, where it is stationary. The second figure gives the work that our force does on the block. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by Ws = 1.0 J. We then pull the block out to x = +6.0 cm and release it from rest. How much work does the spring do on the block when the block moves from xi = +6.0 cm to (a) x = +4.0 cm, (b) x = -1.0 cm, and (c) x = -6.0 cm?arrow_forwardWe know that the work (W) done by a force vector F applied to an object over a displacement ?x is given byW = F(cos?) ?x,where F is the magnitude of the force, and ? is the angle between the applied force and the direction of the displacement. This expression assumes that the force is constant over the displacement ?x. If F is not constant, it can be shown that the work done is equal to the area under the curve force versus position.Based on what above said, calculate the work done by the force versus position represented in each graph (a), (b), and (c) in the figure below.arrow_forwardA figure skater slides to a stop by pushing her blades against the ice as shown.
