The puck in the figure below has a mass of 0.260 kg. Its original distance from the center of rotation is 40.0 cm, and it moves with a speed of 90.0 cm/s. The string is pulled downward 15.0 cm through the hole in the frictionless table. Determine the work done on the puck. (Hint: Consider the change of kinetic energy of the puck.)

A 2.2 kg object is initially moving at 5.78 m/s. After a time of 4.9 s, the object is moving at a rate of 8.72 m/s. What net work was done on the object during that time?
An object is suspended by two cables attached at a single point. The force applied on one cable has a magnitude of 110 pounds and acts at an angle of 50°. The force on the other cable is 60 pounds at an angle of 160°. Part A: Write each vector in component form. Show all necessary work. Part B: Find the dot product of the vectors. Show all necessary calculations. Part C: Use the dot product to find the angle between the cables. Round the answer to the nearest degree. Show all necessary calculations.
What formula would I need to use to solve this problem: The rope of a swing is 2.90 m long. Calculate the angle from the vertical at which a 84.0 kg man must begin to swing in order to have the same KE at the bottom as a 1440 kg car moving at 1.41 m/s (3.15 mph). The decrease in gravitational PE is converted into KE as the man falls. This decrease in gravitational PE depends on the change in height.
You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass of 130 kg. One part of the track is a vertical loop with a radius of 12.0 m. At the bottom of the loop (point A) the car has a speed of 25.0 m/s and at the top of the loop (point B) it has speed of 8.00 m/s. As the car rolls from point A to point B, how much work is done by friction? Use 9.81 m/s2m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
A student skates up a ramp that makes an angle 30° with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed ?0 and wants to turn around over a semi-circular path xyz of radius R during which he/she reaches a maximum height h (at point y) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then (g is the acceleration due to gravity) a) v02 - 2gh = (1/2) gR b) v02 - 2gh = (√3/2) gR c) the centripetal force required at points x and z is zero d) the centripetal force required is maximum at points x and z
Consider a box, of mass 5 kg, being pushed along a horizonal surface a distance of 2.9 m in 16.2 seconds. The applied force is 165.7 N and is directed at an angle 0.7 radians as shown in the diagram below. What is the power exerted while moving the object?
In the figure, a constant external force P = 160 N is applied to a 20.0-kg box, which is on a rough horizontal surface. While the force pushes the box a distance of 8.00 m, the speed changes from 0.500 m/s to 2.60 m/s. The work done by friction during this process is closest to

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?
