Question
Consider a tug-of-war as in Figure CQ5.1, in which two teams pulling on a rope are evenly matched so that no motion takes place. Is work done on the rope? On the pullers? On the ground? Is work done on anything?

- 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_forwardA figure skater slides to a stop by pushing her blades against the ice as shown. The ice exerts a constant force of 200 N on the skater, and the skater stops at 0.6 m. The angle between the force and the skater's direction of motion is 140°. What is the work done on the skater by the ice?arrow_forwardA 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.

- Bob is pulling a box of his toys of mass 15.0 kg along a rough horizontal surface for a distance of 6.00 m. The tension force in the rope is 58.0 N and the angle is 30° with respect to the horizontal. The frictional force on the box is 18.0 N. How much work is done on the box by the tension force, in Joule? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardA 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 (non-conservative) force propelling a 1.40 x 103-kg car up a mountain road does 6.90 x 106 J of work on the car. The car starts from rest at sea level and has a speed of 28.0 m/s at an altitude of 2.40 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. Number Unitsarrow_forward
