I attached the problem. Thanks
The force F = (5.69 N)i + (7.69 N)j acts on a particle as it moves first along the x axis from x = 2.7 m to x = 8.91 m, then parallel to the y axis from y = 3.53 m to y = 8.72 m. What is the work done, in joules, by the force?
A roller-coaster car has a potential energy of 750 kJ and a kinetic energy of 150 kJ at point A in his travel. At the low point on the ride, the potential energy is zero, and 100 kJ of work has been done against friction since it left point A. What is the kinetic energy of the car at this low point?
A child of mass m = 29 kg slides down a slide of height h = 2.4 m without friction. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. Part A : Write an expression for the child's total mechanical energy, E, at the top of the slide, in terms of the variables in the problem and the acceleration due to gravity g. Part B : Calculate the change in the child's potential energy, ΔU in joules, from the top to the bottom of the slide at ground level (i.e. ΔU = Uground - Utop). Part C: What is the child's final speed, vf in m/s?
A balky cow is leaving the barn as you try harder and harder to push her back in. In coordinates with the origin at the barn door, the cow walks from x = 0 to x = 6.9 m as you apply a force with x-component Fx=- [20.0 N + (3.0 N/m)x]. How much work does the force you apply do on the cow during this displacement?
