Question
Spiderman, whose mass is 74.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.2-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a ? = 61.6° angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this maneuver?

- 1. In the figure the mass of the box is 0.15 kg. It slides down the track from point A and reaches point B with a speed of 5.10 m/s. From point B, it slides on a level surface a distance of 4.00 m to point C, where it comes to rest. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the horizontal surface? (b) How much work is done on the package by friction as it slides down the circular arc from A to B? A - R=|80 m m = 0.150 kg 4.0 m B.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.

- I need help on this question?arrow_forwardA box is supported by a 4.6 N vertical force and carried 2.3 m horizontally across a room at constant speed. Then, the same box is pushed 2.3 m horizontally across a smooth table (smooth enough to ignore friction) by a 4.6 N horizontal force. In which case was more work done on the box by the 4.6 N force? More work was done when the box was pushed across the table. More work was done when the box was carried across the room. The work was the same in each case, since the force and distance were of equal magnitudes in both situations.arrow_forwardA water-skier is being pulled by a tow rope attached to a boat. As the driver pushes the throttle forward, the skier accelerates. A 61.2-kg water-skier has an initial speed of 5.1 m/s. Later, the speed increases to 12.1 m/s. Determine the work done by the net external force acting on the skier.arrow_forward
