Check Your Understanding When the length of the spring in Example 8.3 changes from an initial value of 22.0 cm to a final value, the elastic potential energy it contributes changes by 0.0800 J. Find the final length.
Repeat the preceding problem, but this time, suppose that the work done by air resistance cannot be ignored. Let the work done by the air resistance when the skier goes from A to B along the given hilly path be —2000 J. The work done by air resistance is negative since the air resistance acts in the opposite direction to the displacement. Supposing the mass of the skier is 50 kg, what is the speed of the skier at point B ?
Check Your Understanding Find the work done by the same force in Example 7.4 over a cubic path, y=(0.25m-2)x3 , between the same points A=(0,0) and B=(2m,2m) .
Describe a situation in 4iich a force is exerted for a long time but does no work. Explain.
Give an example of something we think of as work in everyday circumstances that is not work in the scientific sense. Is energy transferred or changed in form in your example? If so, explain how this is accomplished without doing work.
Ignoring details associated with friction, extra forces exerted by arm and leg muscles, and other factors, we can consider a pole vault as the conversion of an athlete’s running kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy. If an athlete is to lift his body 4.8 m during a vault, what speed must he have when he plants his pole?
A force F = (6i 2j) N acts on a panicle that under-goes a displacement r = (3i + j) m. Find (a) the work done by the force on the particle and (b) the angle between F and r.

Check Your Understanding The spring Example 7.5 is compressed 6 cm from its equilibrium length. (a) Does the spring force do positive or negative work and (b) what is the magnitude?
Consider the following scenario. A car for which friction is not negligible accelerates from rest down a hill, running out of gasoline after a short distance (see below). The driver lets the car coast farther down the hill, then up and over a small crest. He then coasts down that hill into a gas station, where he brakes to a stop and fills that tank with gasoline. Identify the forms of energy the car has, and how they are changed and transferred in this series of events.
Coal is lifted out of a mine a vertical distance of 50 m by an engine that supplies 500 W to a conveyer belt. How much coal per minute can be brought to the surface? Ignore the effects of friction.
