How much energy is lost to a dissipative drag force if a 60-kg person falls at a constant speed for 15 meters?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?

After being given that speed, the ball reaches a maximum height of 4.25 m above where it started. Using conservation of energy, find a. the balls initial speed and b. the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s.
(a) Sketch a graph of the potential energy function U(x)=kx2/2+Aex2 where k , A, and are constants. (b) What is the force corresponding to this potential energy?

Two stones, one with twice the mass of the other, are thrown straight up and rise to the same height h. Compare their changes in gravitational potential energy (choose one): (a) They rise to the same height, so the stone with twice the mass has twice the change in gravitational potential energy. (b) They rise to the same height, so they have the same change in gravitational potential energy. (c) The answer depends on their speeds at height h.
A block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P7.79). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The blocks speed at the bottom of the track is = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point? (c) Does the block actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?

Jonathan is riding a bicycle and encounters a hill of height 7.30 m. At the base of the hill, he is traveling at 6.00 m/s. When he reaches the top of the hill, he is traveling at 1.00 m/s.
