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?

PHYS 111 W24: Tutorial Quiz #6 Problem 1: A skier of mass 70 kg if pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 60 m up a 30 degree slope (frictionless) at a constant speed of 2 m/s? (b) What power must a motor have to perform this task? Problem 2: Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stands at rest facing the center, within arm's reach of the other two. On a signal, each skater pushes themselves away from the other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, Skater A with mass 80 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 3.5 m/s and skater B with mass 75 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 4 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 90 kg Skater C's velocity after the push. Assume a birds-eye view of the situation for your coordinates.

A box m = 85 kg is being pulled by a constant force F = 150 N at an angle of θ= 25 degrees. The initial speed of the box is zero. How much work, in joules, is done by the normal force as the block moves 3.9 m?
Consider a satellite in a circular orbit above Earth’s surface. In Chapter we will learn that the force of gravity changes only the direction of motion of a satellite in circular motion (and keeps it in a circle); it does NOT change the satellite’s speed. Work done on the satellite by the gravitational force is zero. What is your explanation?
An asteroid is moving along a straight line. A force acts along the displacement of the asteroid and slows it down. The asteroid has a mass of 4.7× 104 kg, and the force causes its speed to change from 7300 to 5300m/s. (a) What is the work done by the force? (b) If the asteroid slows down over a distance of 1.6× 106 m determine the magnitude of the force.
A raft is being dragged along a channel by two chains dragged to the right. The tension in each chain is T =10 kN and each chain is being pulled at an angle of θ = 200 relative to the direction of motion. How much work will be done in pulling this raft a distance of 4.0 km?
A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 47.0 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.60 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom of the slope his speed is 6.20 m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.
A roller coaster (M = 200 kg) starts from a maximum height of 50 meter s, goes over a circular loop that sits vertically with a radius of 10 meters. If the work done by friction is -5000 J, find the velocity of the roller coaster when it reaches the top of the loop.
A 6250-kg satellite is in a circular earth orbit that has a radius of 2.43 x 107 m. A net external force must act on the satellite to make it change to a circular orbit that has a radius of 7.48 × 106 m. What work must the net external force do? Note that the work determined here is not the work Wlift done by the satellite's engines to change the orbit. Instead, the work W is W = Wlift + Wgravitational, where Wgravitational is the work done by the gravitational force. Number i Save for Later Units Attempts: 0 of 3 used Submit Answer
Wile E Coyote (below) has a mass of 12.5 kg and is on a hill with a height of 55 m above a valley. He wants to reach Road Runner, who is on a hill with a height of 100 m on the other side of the valley, by using an ACME rocket attached to some wheels. Assume that friction is negligible. a) What is the potential energy of Wile E Coyote when he is on the 55-m ill and what would be his potential energy if he reaches the 100-m hill? b) What is the minimum initial speed (provided by the rocket) that would allow Wile E Coyote to reach the other side? c) If the initial speed of Wile E Coyote is 25 m/s, what is his speed at the bottom of the valley
