Concept explainers

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 2WUE

Physics Review A team of huskies performs 7 440 J of work on a loaded sled of mass 124 kg, drawing it from rest up a 4.60-m high snow-covered rise while the sled loses 1 520 J due to friction, (a) What is the net work done on the sled by the huskies and friction? (b) What is the change in the sled’s potential energy? (c) What is the speed of the sled at the top of the rise? (See Section 5.5.)
