Instruction: Show your complete and neat solution. Identify your final answer
in the solution. See answer sheet format.
1. A cord is used to lower vertically a block of mass M a distance d at a
constant downward acceleration of g/4. (a) Find the work done by the
cord on the block. (b) Find the work done by the work of gravity.
2. A child pulls a 5.6 kg box a distance of 12 m along a horizontal surface at
a constant speed. What work does the child do on the box if the
coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20 and the cord makes an angle of 45°
with the horizontal?
3. To push a 25 kg crate up a 27° incline, a worker exerts a force of 120 N,
parallel to the incline. As the crate slides 3.6 m, how much work is done
on the crate by: (a) the worker, (b) the force of gravity, and (c) the normal
force due to the incline?
4. A projectile with a mass of 2.4 kg is fired from a cliff 125 m high with an
initial velocity of 150 m/s, directed 41.0º above the horizontal. What are
(a) the kinetic energy of the projectile just after firing and (b) its potential
energy? (c) Use conservation of energy to find the speed of the projectile
just before it strikes the ground.
5. A 220-lb man jumps out a window into a fire net 36 ft below. The net
stretches 4.4 ft before bringing him to rest and tossing him back into the
air. What is the potential energy of the stretched net if no energy is
dissipated?
