standing on the edge of a diving board that is 10 m above the water?
POWER (definition)
A 500N marine in basic training climbs a 15.0m vertical rope at a constant speed
in 10.00s. What is his power output in horsepower?
A 200N gymnast in basic training climbs at 17.0m vertical rope at a constant
speed in 8.00s. What is his power output in horsepower?
WORK (definition)
Elijah pulls a bow string of 0.500m by exerting a force that increase from zero to
250 N. How much work is done by Alex in pulling the bow?
A force F=i+2j+3k acts on a particle and displaces it through S=4i+6j. Calculate the
work done if force and work done are in the same direction.
A 40kg ball is accelerated from rest by a spring that exerts a net force of 3.0N over
a distance of 27 cm. Calculate the speed of the ball once it leaves the spring.
ELASTICITY (definition)
A single frictionless roller-coaster of mass m=70 kg tops the first hill with speed
vo=10 m/s at height reached by the car on the last hill?
A spring with a constant of 80 N/m is extended by 1.5m. How much energy is
stored in the extended spring?
A spring with a spring constant of 15N/m is stretched 30 cm from its equilibrium
position. What is the change in spring potential energy?
KINETIC ENERGY
