Question
  1. A stone weighing 100N is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 39.2 m/s.  Find its

a. Potential energy ang kinetic energy 2.0 seconds after it was thrown

b. Potential and kinetic energy at the maximum height.

2. A 20 horsepower engine is used to lift  gravel from the ground to the top of a building 60 ft high.  Neglecting loss of energy due to friction, how many tons of gravel can be lifted in 50 minutes?

1 hp =  33.000 ft-lb per minute        1 ton = 2000 lb

3.The engines of an airplane exerts a force of 4,000 lb when traveling with a constant  velocity of 300 mi/hr. How much horsepower is delivered?
