A roller-coaster car has a potential energy of 400,000 J (400 kJ) and a kinetic energy of 130,000 J (130 kJ) at point A in its travel. At the low point of the ride, the potential energy is zero, and 60,000 J (60 kJ) of work has been done against friction since it left point A. What is the kinetic energy of the roller coaster at this low point (in kJ)? Show work and plug in numbers.
Two forces are used to move a block 2 meters across a level surface shown in the following figure. Is the work done by force A greater than, equal to or less than the work done by force B? (Note: the force vectors are drawn to scale) Source: Physics: A Conceptual Worldview; 7th edition
A 20m rope is hanging over the edge of a 50m building. Attached to the end is 2 kg bucket carrying 30kg of sand. There is a whole in the bucket that allows the sand to leak out at 0.5 kg/m. Disregarding the rope, how much work is done lifting the bucket to the top of the building? Show all work. Include units. Method of solving: fnint(), rounded to nearest whole number or Fundamental Theorem. Your choice
Solve each problem and show all work We will now use energy considerations to find the speed of a falling object at impact. Artiom is on the roof replacing some shingles when his 0.55 kg hammer slips out of his hands. The hammer falls 3.67 m to the ground. Neglecting air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the system will remain the same. The sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy possessed by the hammer 3.67 m above the ground is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of the hammer as it falls. Upon impact, all of the energy is in a kinetic form. The following equation can be used to represent the relationship: GPE + KE (top) = GPE + KE (at impact) Because the hammer is dropped from rest, the KE at the top is equal to zero.Because the hammer is at base level, the height of the hammer is equal to zero; therefore, the PE upon impact is zero. We may write our equation like this: GPE (top) = KE (at impact) This gives…
