1. A 4.0 kg particle is moving at a velocity v = V2î – V2ĵ + 3k m/s. (a) (b) What is the particle's kinetic energy at this moment? What is the net work done on the particle if its velocity changes to - V2î + 3k m/s? V = - Assume that a force in the x y plane acts on the particle to slow it down (imagine (c) that this force is a type of friction). Will the particle's kinetic energy become zero under the influence of this force? Explain your answer.
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?
A 69.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 8.9 m/s. The goal of this problem is to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. Write the general equation for energy conservation and solve for the velocity at half the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer.

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.
