POTENTIAL ENERGY (definition)

Kate having a mass of 47 kg sits on a swing that is attached to ropes 3m long.


Francein pulls the swing to a side so that the ropes make an angle of 48 degrees
with the horizontal. What is the gain in potential energy of the woman relative to
her lowest position?

What is the gravitational potential energy of a girl who has a mass of 45kg and is
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
Determine the kinetic energy of 630-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a
speed of 15.3 m/s?
Which has greater kinetic energy: a 3.0 kg moving at 4.0m/s or a 4.0 kg body
moving at 4.0 kg?
A 7 kg bowling ball is moving to the goal at the speed of 10.3 m/s. What is the
kinetic energy of the ball?
