A body moves in a circle at constant speed. Does the centripetal force that accelerates the body do any work? Explain.
A cyclist in a race must climb a 5 hill at a speed of 8 m/s. If the mass of the bike and the biker together is 80 kg, what must be the power output of the biker to achieve the goal?
The surface of the preceding problem is modified so that the coefficient of kinetic friction is decreased. The same horizontal force is applied to the crate, and after being pushed 8.0 m, its speed is 5.0 m/s. How much work is now done by the force of friction? Assume that the crate starts at rest.
Cite two examples in which a force is exerted on an object without doing any work on the object.
A sled of mass 70 kg starts from rest and slides down a 10 incline 80 m long. It then travels for 20 m horizontally before starting back up an 8° incline. It travels 80 m along this incline before coming to rest. What is the magnitude of the net work done on the sled by friction?
A particle of mass 2.0 kg moves under the influence of the force F(x)=(5x2=7x)N . Suppose a frictional force also acts on the particle. If the particle’s speed when it starts at x=4.0 m is 0.0 m/s and when it arrives at x=4.0 m is 9.0 m/s, how much work is done on it by the frictional force between x=4.0 m and x=4.0 m?
