The figure shows a ball with mass m = 0.471 kg attached to the end of a thin rod with length L = 0.582 m and negligible mass. The other end of the rod is pivoted so that the ball can move in a vertical circle. The rod is held horizontally as shown and then given enough of a downward push to cause the ball to swing down and around and just reach the vertically upward position, with zero speed there. How much work is done on the ball by the gravitational force from the initial point to (a) the lowest point, (b) the highest point, and (c) the point on the right level with the initial point? If the gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth system is taken to be zero at the initial point, what is it when the ball reaches (d) the lowest point, (e) the highest point, and (f) the point on the right level with the initial point?

A snowboarder and her board (combined mass 40.0 kgkg) are moving at 9.30 m/sm/s at the bottom of a curved ditch. If friction can be ignored, what is the maximum vertical distance that she can travel up the sides of the ditch?The snowboarder finds that, due to friction, the maximum vertical distance she can travel up the sides of the ramp is 3.50 mm. How much work did the force of friction do on her?
Ashley is working on a problem in which a 13 kg rock rolls down a 12 m hill. She reasons that since the rock is moving downward, that the work performed by gravity must be negative, so the total work done is; (9.8m/s^2) (11kg) (-12m) = - 1300 J Is ashley's reasoning correct? if so, explain. If not, what mistake did she make?
