The total energy required to move a 10-N block up a 25-degree incline for 10 meters is 500 Joule. A
frictional force of 10-N opposes the motion of the block. Determine force (parallel the inclined)
required to move the block, the rate of work done if the work was done in 10 seconds and the initial
velocity of the block if its velocity at 10 meters is 30 m/s.
A farmhand lifts a 23.5-kg bale of hay to a height H = 1.1 m to get it into the back of a flatbed truck. How many bales ofhay can the farmhand lift using the energy provided by a thick, rich, 485-C chocolate milkshake?
