The concepts in this problem are similar to those in Multiple-Concept Example 4, except that the force doing the work in this problem is the tension in the cable. A rescue helicopter lifts a 90.5-kg person straight up by means of a cable. The person has an upward acceleration of 0.512 m/s2 and is lifted from rest through a distance of 8.89 m. (a) What is the tension in the cable? How much work is done by (b) the tension in the cable and (c) the person's weight? (

While riding on an elevator, a person has twoforces acting on him, a normal force and a gravity force. Suppose the person has mass m is on an elevator that 1 descends a distance d. If the total work on the person is Wiotal = -mgd, what is 4 the magnitude of the normal force? Is the elevator speeding up or slowing down? The knowns in this problem are m and g.

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. Is that correct?]

A farmer is using a rope and pulley to lift a bucket of water from the bottom of a well that is hy = 9.5 m deep. The farmer uses a force F1 = 59.5 N to pull the bucket of water directly upwards. The total mass of the bucket of water is mb + mw = 3.1 kg. a.Calculate how much work Wf in J the farmer does on the bucket of water (via the rope) to raise it to ground level.  b.Calculate how much work Wg in J gravity does on the bucket filled with water as the farmer lifts it up the well.  c. Calculate the net work Wnet in J done on the bucket of water by the two forces F1 and Fg.

A 325 N force is pulling on an 85.0 kg refrigerator as it slides across a horizontal floor. The force acts at an upward angle of 25.0° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.150, and the refrigerator moves a distance of 5.50 m. Find (a) the work done by the pulling force, (b) the work done by the force of kinetic friction, (c) the net amount of work done on the refrigerator, and (d) if the refrigerator was initially at rest determine the speed of the refrigerator after the 5.50m displacement. (e) Include a force (or free-body) diagram of the situation. [Diagram 2 pts.]

A 5.8 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force F acting in the positive direction of an x axis along the track is applied to the body. A stroboscopic graph of the position of the body as it slides to the right is shown in the figure. The force F is applied to the body at t = 0, and the graph records the position of the body at 0.50 s intervals. How much work is done on the body by the applied force F between t = 0 and t = 1.0 s? t = 0 -0.5 s -1.0 s -1.5 s -2.0s 0.4 x (m) 0.2 0.6 0.8

A 600 N person climbs a ladder at a constant speed. The person climbs up 12 meters in a time of 20 seconds. What is the work done and the power exerted?

A 199 kg crate hangs from the end of a rope of length L = 13.7 m. You push horizontally on the crate with a varying force F to move it distance d = 4.25 m to the side (see the figure). (a) What is the magnitude of F when the crate is in this final position? During the crate's displacement, what are (b) the total work done on it, (c) the work done by the gravitational force on the crate, and (d) the work done by the pull on the crate from the rope? (e) Knowing that the crate is motionless before and after its displacement, use the answers to (b), (c), and (d) to find the work your force F does on the crate.

The only force acting on a 4.1 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 2.6 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 3.5 m/s in the positive x direction, and some time later has a velocity of 7.8 m/s in the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 2.6 N force during this time? Number i Units (>)

The spring-flex exercise system consists of a spring with one end fixed and a handle on the other end. The idea is that you exercise your muscles by stretching the spring from its natural length, which is 38 cm. If a 170 Newton force is required to keep the spring stretched to a length of 52 cm, how much work is required to stretch it from 51 cm to 70 cm? Your answer must include the correct units. Work =
