*81. Go A husband and wife take turns pulling their child in a wagon along a horizontal sidewalk. Each exerts a constant force and pulls the wagon through the same displacement. They do the same amount of work, but the husband's pulling force is directed 58° above the horizontal, and the wife's pulling force is directed 38° above the horizontal. The hus- band pulls with a force whose magnitude is 67 N. What is the magnitude of the pulling force exerted by his wife?

The concepts in this problem are similar to those in Multiple-Concept Example 4, except that the force doing the work in this problem is the tension in the cable. A rescue helicopter lifts a 90.5-kg person straight up by means of a cable. The person has an upward acceleration of 0.512 m/s2 and is lifted from rest through a distance of 8.89 m. (a) What is the tension in the cable? How much work is done by (b) the tension in the cable and (c) the person's weight? (d) Use the work-energy theorem and find the final speed of the person.

A lawn mower tractor pulls a large and heavy sled during a pulling game at a county fair. The force during the pull is monitored and recorded by instruments. The figure shows the force as a function of displacement.

A person drags a sled across a frozen lake to town. The surface of the lake is quite smooth and slippery (so the friction from the ice can be neglected), but he has studded boots with nails driven through the soles (from the inside) so he can walk across the ice without slipping. As he nears his destination, he begins to slow the sled down by pushing in a direction opposite the velocity of the sled. During this process, the work he is doing on the sled is: Positive Not enough information is given Negative Zero

2. A 3.00 kg object is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. An applied force acts on the object in the +x-direction. Assume there is friction in the system as well. The Net Work done on the object is 50.0 J over a distance of 7.00 m. a) What is the object's Change in Kinetic Energy? Do Not Overthink this! b) What Net Force acted on this object?
The figure here shows an overhead view of three horizontal forces acting on a cargo canister that was initially stationary but that now moves across a frictionless floor. The force magnitudes are F₁ = 2.60 N, F₂= 3.60 N, and F3 = 10.0 N, and the indicated angles are 02 = 49.0° and 93 = 30.0°. What is the net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first 3.90 m of displacement? 8₂ 03 Number i 11 Unit J
The concepts in this problem are similar to those in Multiple-Concept Example 4, except that the force doing the work in this problem is the tension in the cable.
