Assume the partner’s velocity is zero at the beginning and the end of the lift. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . If he does this 22 times, how much work has he done? Answer in units of J.arrow_forwardA sled with total mass m = 46.3 kg is pulled a distance d = 17.1 m across a horizontal surface for which the corficcient of kinetic friction with the sled is = 0.196. The pulling force is constant and makes an angle = 31.2° above the horizontal and the sled moves at a constant velocity. Find an expression for the work done by the pulling force in terms of m, acceleration due to gravity g, 0, Hk, and d, and use it find the work done in Joules by the pulling force.

- The force required to compress a non-standard spring varies as the spring is compressed, as shown by the plot of force vs displacement. Distances are x1 = 10, x2 = 25 cm, x3 = 55 cm, and x4=75cm, and the forces are F1 = 110 N and F2 = -60N. Calculate the work done in Joules, on the spring as it is compressed from origin to point x4.arrow_forward1. A jeep with mass of 2000 kg is going 18 m/s at the bottom of a hill that is 50.0m high. When it reaches the top, it is travelling at 10m/s. (a) what is the total work done by all forces (the jeep engine, the mud, gravity, etc) as it ascends the hill? (b) What is the minimum work required by engine of the jeep if only the engine and gravity are doing work (if there is na friction, forces from mud, etc)?arrow_forwardA 12.0 kg box is given an initial push that starts it sliding across the floor. It eventually comes to a stop. If the box has an initial velocity of 3.5 m/s, how much work is done by friction to cause it to come to a stop? (Yes, you are correct, you do not know the coefficient of friction.)arrow_forward
- may someone please explainarrow_forwardTimothy weighs 515 N. he runs up a 16.5m tall building and jumps off. When he reaches the ground, he is travelling at 16.4 m/s. What is the work done by air resistance? Use formulas mgh and 1/2m(vf^2) - 1/2m(vi^2) if possible.arrow_forwardA force with a magnitude of 60 N is applied at an angle theta= 50 to the horizontal to an object initially at rest, displacing it 5 m from its initial location. The object weighs 50 kilograms and there is no friction. After this displacement, the force is no longer applied. Determine the work being done by the force? How fast is the object when the force is removed? When the force is no longer exerted, the item falls down a 10-meter-high cliff. When it reaches the ground, what is its velocity? When it strikes the ground, it slides along the ground, which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25. How far does it go before coming to a stop?arrow_forward
