4. This Olympic skeleton athlete slides down an icy track head first. The track has many twists and turns with a total height of 102.75 m. If the 99.375 kg man has a speed of 27 m/s at the bottom, what was the total work done on him by friction and air resistance slowing him down? (In other words, what was the energy lost to friction and air resistance?) He starts from rest at the top.

Starting from rest, a 1.7x104 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts an average upward force of 0.35 N on it. This force does 2.7x10-4 J of work on the flea. (a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground? (b) How far upward does the flea move while it is pushing off? Ignore both air resistance and the flea's weight. (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units

2. An ocean diver swims upwards against the drag force exerted by the water. This force varies in magnitude by depth (d) and is given by F(d)=√d, where y=100 N/m ¹/2. If the diver ascends from a depth of d=10m to the surface (d=0), what is the work done by this drag force? Why is this work negative?
