This Olympic skeleton athlete slides down an icy track head first. The track has many twists and turns with a total height of 102.75 m. If the 99.375 kg man has a speed of 27 m/s at the bottom, what was the total work done on him by friction and air resistance slowing him down? (In other words, what was the energy lost to friction and air resistance?) He starts from rest at the top.

The tree topper is accidentally knocked off of a Christmas tree giving it an initial speed of 15 m/s. The tree topper ornament was initially at a height of 2.2 m above the ground and as it falls it bumps into the leaves and the branches of the tree. If the work done by friction of the leaves on the ornament is 3.6 J, what is the speed of the ornament right as it hits the floor?
A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.600-kg ball is released at a height of 2.02 m above the floor with a speed of 7.47 m/s. The ball goes through the net 3.10 m above the floor at a speed of 3.90 m/s. What is the work done on the ball by air resistance, a nonconservative force?

According to the work-energy theorem, Wnet=ΔKWnet=ΔK. Consider a weightlifter lifting a barbell above their head and keeping it stable (i.e. not moving), in a configuration similar to the picture of a female weightlifter below: Does the weightlifter exert any work on the barbell? If so, does the weightlifter expend energy during this process? Justify your answer using the work-energy theorem and/or descriptions of free-body diagrams.

An 80000 kg train moving at 20 m/s moves along a track thanks to a steady driving force of 4.5 kN parallel to (along) the track. A frictional force of 5.0 kN brakes the train as it moves. Through what distance does the train move before its speed is reduced to 15 m/s? What is the work (in Joules) done by the driving force? How much energy (in Joules) is expended in friction? What is the change of height along this long stretch of track?
