A person pushes a box on a rough horizontal platform surface. He applies a force of 200 N over a distance of 15 m. Thereafter, he gets progressively tired and his applied force reduces linearly with distance to 100 N. The total distance through which the box has been moved is 30 m. What is the work done by the person during the total movement of the box?

Spiderman, whose mass is 78.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.4-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 0 = 59.4° angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this maneuver? kJ

Bob is pulling a box of his toys of mass 15.0 kg along a rough horizontal surface for a distance of 6.00 m. The tension force in the rope is 58.0 N and the angle is 30° with respect to the horizontal. The frictional force on the box is 18.0 N. What is the net work done on the box, in Joule? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

A person pulls a 20 kg heavy box horizontally, which slides at a constant speed. The person makes a force of 60 N in the first 6.88 m. Then she starts to get tired. The force it exerts then begins to decrease linearly until it extinguishes in the next 6.88 m. The moment the person's strength runs out, the box no longer moves. How much work did this person do on the box? What is the starting speed of the box?
A 1100 kg car drives up a hill that is 16.2m high. During the drive, two nonconservative forces do work on the car: (i) the force of friction, and (ii) the force generated by the car's engine.
