a block of ice slides down a frictionless ramp at angleθ=30º while an ice worker pulls on the block (via a rope) with a force Fthat has a magnitude of 50 N and is directed up the ramp. As the block slides through distance d=0.50m along the ramp, its kinctic energy increases by 80J. How much greater would its kinetic energy have been if the rope had not been attached to the block?
A child on a sled is initially at rest on an icy horizontal surface. The sled is pushed until it reaches a final velocity of 6.60 m/s in a distance of 12.8 m. The coefficient of friction between the ice and runners of the sled is 0.200, and the weight of the child and the sled is 335 N. Find the work done by the force pushing the sled.
A water-skier is being pulled by a tow rope attached to a boat. As the driver pushes the throttle forward, the skier accelerates. A 79.5-kg water-skier has an initial speed of 7.4 m/s. Later, the speed increases to 10.6 m/s. Determine the work done by the net external force acting on the skier.
A 3 kg block is sliding across a horizontal surface. The initial speed of the block is 4 m/s, but because of friction the block’s speed will decrease at a constant rate (i.e., constant acceleration) until the block finally comes to a stop after sliding 8 m. What is the average power (in W) supplied by friction as the block slows to a stop?
Can the work done by Friction be zero? In a case where static friction exists, the object does not move and the change in kinetic energy is also zero? W = Fd = ?KE = 0? What did I do wrong?
When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 195 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 30 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.
Your 1,221 kg car, moving at 6 m/s, approaches the bottom of a hill that is 24 m high. To save fuel, you use on average only 4 kW of engine power. As you go up the hill, half of the energy delivered by the engine, and half of the initial kinetic will be dissipated. Your car will just barely make it over the hill. How much time, t, (in s) will it take for the car to reach the top of the hill? Type your answer.
A 5.80-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of v₁ = 8.20 m/s (see figure below).
