A rope pulls a 200 kg sleigh (which you may know) up a slope at incline angle θ = 30◦, through distance d = 20 m. The sleigh and its contents have a total mass of 200 kg. The snowy slope is so slippery that we take it to be frictionless. How much work is done by each force acting on the sleigh?
A force F(x) = (-5.0x² + 7.0x) N acts on a particle as it moves along the positive x-axis. (a) How much work does the force do on the particle as it moves from x - 2.0 to x = 5.0 m?
A single conservative force acts on a 7- kg particle within a system due to its interaction with the rest of the system.
