A car of mass 1144 kg moves up a mountain road with the help of a non conservative force that does 4.7 x106 J of work on the car. It starts from rest at sea level and has a speed of 17 m/s at an altitude of 198 m above sea level. Obtain the work done on the car by the combined forces of friction and air resistance, both of which are non conservative forces.
While doing a chin-up, a man lifts his body 0.40 m. (a) How much work must the man do per kilogram of body mass? (b) The muscles involved in doing a chin-up can generate about 70 J of work per kilogram of muscle mass. If the man can just barely do a 0.40-m chin-up, what percentage of his body’s mass do these muscles constitute? (For comparison, the total percentage of muscle in a typical 70-kg man with 14% body fat is about 43%.) (c) Repeat part (b) for the man’s young son, who has arms half as long as his father’s but whose muscles can also generate 70 J of work per kilogram of muscle mass.(d) Adults and children have about the same percentage of muscle in their bodies. Explain why children can commonly do chin-ups more easily than their fathers.
A cat's crinkle ball toy of mass 15 g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3 m/s. Assume in this problem that air drag is negligible.

Two toboggans (with riders) of the same mass are at rest on top of a steep hill. As they slide down the hill, toboggan A takes a straight path down the slope while toboggan B winds back and forth along a more gently sloping path. Toboggan A makes the trip in one fourth the time of toboggan B. (a) Compare the work done by gravity on each toboggan. Wg, A Wg, B = (b) Compare the average power delivered by gravity on the two toboggans. Pg, A Pg, B =
