A 5.0-kg block that initially has a speed of 6.0 m/s is moving in a straight line on a level surface where there is kinetic friction between the block and the surface. What is the magnitude of the work done by the frictional force after the block comes to rest?
A car is traveling on a level road with speed v0 at the instant when the brakes lock, so that the tires slide rather than roll. Part A Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum stopping distance of the car in terms of v0, g, and the coefficient of kinetic friction ?kbetween the tires and the road Part B By what factor would the minimum stopping distance change if the coefficient of kinetic friction were doubled ? Part C By what factor would the minimum stopping distance change if the initial speed were doubled? Part D By what factor would the minimum stopping distance change if both the coefficient of kinetic friction and the initial speed were doubled?
Several physical situations are described below. For each situation, simplify the work-energy equation by canceling any zero terms and any energy terms (whether KE or PE) which are unchanging. Explain each term which gets canceled. A cross-country skier is in motion on top of a small hill. He skis down the hill into the valley and up a second smaller hill. He uses his poles to propel himself during the entire motion. Ignore the effect of friction and air resistance. Simplification of Work-Energy Equation KEi + PEi + Wnc = KEf + PEf

Using the work-energy theorem to investigate a traffic scene A car hit a pedestrian and immediately the driver slammed on the brakes to stop the car. During the subsequent trial, the driver's lawyer claimed his client was obeying the posted 35-mi/hr speed limit. You have been called in as the state's expert witness. Your investigation of the accident found that the skid marks made while the brakes were applied until the car stopped were Ax = 94 m long. You also measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car's tires and the road (using a drag sled) to be μk = 0.36. (a) Use the work-energy theorem to show that the car's minimum speed vo when the driver slammed on the brakes is given by vo = √2 μg Ax (b) Use the result of part (a) to determine if the car was speeding when the pedestrian was hit. [answer: The car's speed was at least 57 mi/hr when the brakes were applied.] (c) If the car's mass is 1470 kg, how much heat energy was produced while the car was skidding? [answer:…

2.) A 1000 kg boat is towed in the water by a cable in a straight line. The Tension in the cable is 3,000N. The coefficient of friction between the boat and the water is µ = 0.2. It starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 5m/s after some unknown distance. Angles must be shown in your work calculations. a.) What is the final kinetic energy of the boat? b.) Using the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem, find the unknown distance.
