Exercise 60
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, a person claims that “only the component of the force perpendicular to the direction of motion does work.” We verify if the claim is true for false.
Step 2
2 of 2
The claim is **false**. The component that does work is one the *parallel* to the direction of motion.
Exercise 61
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, we are given that the equation for work is $W = Fd cos theta$. We state what $theta$ is.
Step 2
2 of 2
The angle $theta$ must be the angle between the force and direction of motion.
Exercise 62
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, we are given that $W = Fd cos theta$. We find the angle in which $W = -Fd$.
Step 2
2 of 3
We equate the two expressions.

$$
begin{aligned}
Fs cos theta &= -Fd \
cos theta &= -1 \
theta &= cos^{-1} left( -1 right) \
theta &= boxed{180^{circ}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
theta = 180^{circ}
$$
Exercise 63
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, a person claims that “a force that is always perpendicular to the velocity of a particle does no work on the particle.” We verify if the statement is true or false.
Step 2
2 of 2
The statement is **true**. The equation of work is $W = Fd cos theta$. When the force and displacement are perpendicular, the angle between is $theta = 90^{circ}$, and $cos 90^{circ} = 0$. Hence, if the force is perpendicular to the displcement, then $W = 0$.
Exercise 64
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, the International Space Station orbits the Earth in an approximately circular orbit at height $h = 375~mathrm{km}$. We calculate the work done by Earth’s gravity in one complete orbit.
Step 2
2 of 2
The orbit of the ISS is circular, hence the velocity and instantaneous displacement is always perpedicular to the direction of the Earth’s gravitational force on the ISS. Since the force and displacement are penpendicular, then the work done is **zero**.
Exercise 65
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a pendulum bob swings from point A to point B based on the given figure. We calculate the sign of the work done by gravity and the work done by the string.
Step 2
2 of 3
### Part A.

The direction of the gravitational force is downwards. Based on the figure, the bob swings from a higher elevation to a lower elevation, so the vertical displacement is also downwards. Since the force and displacement are parallel, the work done is **positive**.

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part B.

The direction of the tension of the string on the bob is along the string (up). The direction of motion is perpendicular to the string. Since the force and displacement are perpendicular, the work done must be **zero**.

Exercise 66
Step 1
1 of 3
This problem is a continuation of problem 65. The bob swings from point B to point C. We calculate the sign of the work done by gravity and the work done by the string.
Step 2
2 of 3
### Part A.

The direction of the gravitational force is downwards. Based on the figure, the bob swings from a lower elevation to a higher elevation, so the vertical displacement is upwards. Since the force and displacement are antiparallel, the work done is **negative**.

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part B.

The direction of the tension of the string on the bob is along the string (up). The direction of motion is perpendicular to the string. Since the force and displacement are perpendicular, the work done must be **zero**.

Exercise 67
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a dof lift a bone of mass $m = 0.75~mathrm{kg}$ up a distance of $d = 0.11~mathrm{m}$. We calculate the work done by the dog. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
The dog must apply a force equal to the weight of the bone. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd \
&= mgd \
&= left( 0.75~mathrm{kg} right) left( 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}} right) left( 0.11~mathrm{m} right) \
&= 0.80933~mathrm{J} \
W &= boxed{ 0.81~mathrm{J} }
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
W = 0.81~mathrm{J}
$$
Exercise 68
Step 1
1 of 2
The work is defined as a product of a force acting on an object and the direction of object’s movement.

$$
W=Fcdot d,
$$

where height is denoted by $d$.
The weightlifter lifts weights straight up, so the direction of the force and movement are the same.
Solve the equation for $F$ and substitute the values for work and height given in the task:

$$
F=frac{W}{d}=frac{9.8:J}{0.12:m}
$$

$$
boxed{F=81.67:N}
$$

Result
2 of 2
$$
F=81.67:N
$$
Exercise 69
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, $W = 13~mathrm{J}$ is done as a pail of weight $w = 35~mathrm{N}$ is lifted up. We calculate the height in which the pail is lifted.
Step 2
2 of 3
The person must apply a force equal to the weight. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd \
W &= wd \
implies d &= frac{W}{w} \
&= frac{13~mathrm{J}}{35~mathrm{N}} \
&= 0.37143~mathrm{m} \
d &= boxed{0.37~mathrm{m}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
d = 0.37~mathrm{m}
$$
Exercise 70
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a book is pushed across a desk with distance $d = 0.45~mathrm{m}$. The force applied is $F = 5.2~mathrm{N}$ at an angle $theta = 21^{circ}$ below the horizontal. We calculate the work done on the book.
Step 2
2 of 3
When the force is an an angle with the displacement, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd cos theta \
&= left( 5.2~mathrm{N} right) left( 0.45~mathrm{m} right) cos 21^{circ} \
&= 2.18458~mathrm{J} \
W &= boxed{2.2~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
W = 2.2~mathrm{J}
$$
Exercise 71
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, a can of paint with mass $m = 3.4~mathrm{kg}$ was lifted from the ground to a height of $h = 1.8~mathrm{m}$. We are given three subproblems. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 5
Part A.

For this part, we calculate the work done by the person lifting the can. The work is positive, since the force is upwards and the displacement is also upwards. The force must also be equal to the weight of the can. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd \
&= mgd \
&= left( 3.4~mathrm{kg} right) left( 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}} right) left( 1.8~mathrm{m} right) \
&= 60.0372~mathrm{J} \
W &= 60.~mathrm{J}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
Part B.

For this part, the person holds the can to be stationary. We calculate the work done in this time. The displacement is $0$, so the work must also be **zero**. Hence,

$$
W = 0
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
Part C.

For this part, the person returns the can to the ground. The force is still upwards, but the displacement is downward, so the work must be negative. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= -Fd \
&= -mgd \
&= -left( 3.4~mathrm{kg} right) left( 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}} right) left( 1.8~mathrm{m} right) \
&= -60.0372~mathrm{J} \
W &= -60.~mathrm{J}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
5 of 5
$$
begin{aligned}
W &= 60.~mathrm{J} \
W &= 0 \
W &= -60.~mathrm{J}
end{aligned}
$$
Exercise 72
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a tow rope, parallel to the water, pulls a water skier directly behind a boat with constant velocity for distance $d = 65~mathrm{m}$. The tension on the rope is $F = 120~mathrm{N}$. We calculate the work done by the rope on the skier.
Step 2
2 of 3
Part A.

The skier moves toward the boat. The force of the rope on the skier is also pointing toward the boat. The force and displacement are parallel, so the work must be **positive**.

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part B.

We calculate the work done. We are given the force and displacement, so we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd \
&= left( 120~mathrm{N} right) left( 65~mathrm{m} right) \
W &= boxed{7800~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Exercise 73
Step 1
1 of 3
This problem is a continuation of Problem 72. In this problem, we calculate the work done by the rope on the boat. The rope has tension $F = 120~mathrm{N}$ and the distance travelled is $d = 65~mathrm{N}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
Part A.

The tension of the rope on the boat is pointing towards the back of the boat. The displacement, however, is pointing to the front of the boat. The force and displacement are antiparallel, so the work done must be **negative**.

Step 3
3 of 3
Part B.

We calculate the work done. We are given the force and displacement, so we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= -Fd \
&= -left( 120~mathrm{N} right) left( 65~mathrm{m} right) \
W &= boxed{-7800~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Exercise 74
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a child pulls a friend in a little red wagon. The child exerted a force of $F = 16~mathrm{N}$ for $d = 12~mathrm{m}$ and the handle is inclined at an angle $theta = 25^{circ}$ above the horizontal. We calculate the work done by the child on the wagon.
Step 2
2 of 3
From the equation for work, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd cos theta \
&= left(16~mathrm{N}right) left(12~mathrm{m}right) cos 25^{circ} \
&= 174.01110~mathrm{J} \
W &= boxed{170~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
W = 170~mathrm{J}
$$
Exercise 75
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a package crate of mass $m = 51~mathrm{kg}$ is pulled across a rough floor with a rope angled at $theta = 43^{circ}$ above the horizontal. The tension in the rope is $F = 120~mathrm{N}$. We calculate the work done on the crate to move it by $d = 18~mathrm{m}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
From the equation of work, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd cos theta \
&= left(120~mathrm{N}right) left(18~mathrm{m}right) cos 43^{circ} \
&= 1579.72400~mathrm{J} \
W &= boxed{1600~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
W = 1600~mathrm{J}
$$
Exercise 76
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a water skier ride to one ide of the center line of a boat. The boat is traveling at $15~mathrm{m/s}$ and the tension on the rope is $F = 75~mathrm{N}$. The angle between the rope and the direction of motion is $theta$. The work done by the boat on the skier is $W = 2500~mathrm{J}$ in a distance of $d = 42~mathrm{m}$. We calculate the angle $theta$.
Step 2
2 of 3
From the equation of work, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd cos theta \
cos theta &= frac{W}{Fd} \
implies theta &= cos^{-1} left[ frac{W}{Fd} right] \
&= cos^{-1} left[ frac{2500~mathrm{J}}{left(75~mathrm{N}right) left(42~mathrm{m}right)} right] \
&= 37.47200^{circ} \
theta &= boxed{37^{circ}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result
3 of 3
$$
theta = 37^{circ}
$$
Exercise 77
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a package rets on the flood of an elevator rising with constant speed. The elevator does positive work on the package. We are asked why its kinetic energy does not increase.
Step 2
2 of 3
While the elevator does positive work on the package, gravity does a negative work, since the displacement is upward but the direction of gravity is downward. The magnitude of the work done by the elevator must be equal to the magnitude of the work done by gravity, but the signs are opposite so the net work must be **zero**.
Step 3
3 of 3
Since the net work is zero, the change in kinetic energy is also zero so the kinetic energy does not change.
Exercise 78
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, an object moves with constant velocity. We are asked if we can assume that no force acts on the object.
Step 2
2 of 2
The answer is **no**. We can assume that the *net force* is zero, but this net force can be comprised of several forces that has a vector sum of zero.
Exercise 79
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, four joggers have the given masses and speeds:

| Jogger | Mass | Speed |
| — | — | — |
| A | $m$ | $v$ |
| B | $m/2$ | $3v$ |
| C | $3m$ | $v/2$ |
| D | $4m$ | $v/2$ |

Step 2
2 of 5
The definition of kinetic energy gives us

$$
KE = frac{1}{2} mv^{2}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
For the joggers, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_{A} &= frac{1}{2} m_{A}v_{A}^{2} &= left( frac{1}{2} right)mv^{2} \
KE_{B} &= frac{1}{2} m_{B}v_{B}^{2} &= left( frac{9}{4} right)mv^{2} \
KE_{C} &= frac{1}{2} m_{C}v_{C}^{2} &= left( frac{3}{8} right)mv^{2} \
KE_{D} &= frac{1}{2} m_{D}v_{D}^{2} &= left( frac{1}{2} right)mv^{2} \
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
Comparing the numerical coefficients, we see that

$$
boxed{KE_{C} < KE_{A} = KE_{D} < KE_{B}}
$$

Result
5 of 5
$$
KE_{C} < KE_{A} = KE_{D} < KE_{B}
$$
Exercise 80
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, we are asked if a the kinetic energy of am object can be negative.
Step 2
2 of 2
The answer is **no**. The definition of kinetic energy is

$$
KE = frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
$$

All of the factors in the right hand side of the equation can not be negative, $1/2$ is a positive constant, mass $m$ is always nonnegative, and the square of speed $v^{2}$ is always nonnegative, so the product, the kinetic energy, can not be negative.

Exercise 81
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, the work required to accelerate a car from $0$ to $50~mathrm{km/h}$ is $W$. We predict the work needed to accelerate from $50~mathrm{km/h}$ to $150~mathrm{km/h}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
Part A.

Let $v = 50~mathrm{km/h}$. The first part is accelerating from $0$ to $v$, and the second part is accelerating from $v$ to $3v$. From the work-energy theorem, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Delta KE \
&= frac{1}{2}m left[v_text{f}^{2} – v_text{i}^{2} right] \
W &propto left[v_text{f}^{2} – v_text{i}^{2} right]
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
The work needed is proportional to the difference of squares of the speeds. For the first part, this value is $v^{2} – 0 = v^{2}$. For the second part, this is $left(3vright)^{2} – v^{2} = 8v^{2}$. The difference is increased by a factor of $8$, so the work needed must also increase by a factor of $8$. The work must be

$$
8W
$$

Step 4
4 of 4
### Part B.

Based on the calculations above, the best explanation is **B.** “the final speed is three times the speed that was produced by the work $W$.”

Exercise 82
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, Ball 1 is dropped to the ground from rest. Ball 2 is thrown to the ground with an initial downward speed. Assuming that the balls have the same mass and released from the same height, we compare the change in gravitational potential energy of the two balls.
Step 2
2 of 3
### Part A.

The change in gravitational potential is dependent only on the mass and change in elevation. Since the balls are of the same mass and start from the same height and end on the ground, the change in gravitational potential energy of Ball 1 is **equal** to that of Ball 2.

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part B.

Based on the explanation above, the best choice is **B.** “the gravitational potential energy depends only on the mass of the ball and its initial height above the ground.”

Exercise 83
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, we use Figure 6.10 and compare the gravitational potential energy at point C to that of (a) point A and (b) point B.
Step 2
2 of 3
### Part A.

Based on the diagram, points C and A are in the same elevation. Their graviatational potential energy must be **equal**.

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part B.

Based on the diagram, point C is in a higher elevation than point B. The gravitational potential energy at point C is **greater than** that at point B.

Exercise 84
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, the potential energy of a stretched spring is positive. We are asked the sign of the potential energy of a compressed spring.
Step 2
2 of 2
The potential energy of a spring is proportional to the square of the displacement from equilibrium. This quantity can not be negative, since the square of a number is non-negative. Also, since the spring is compressed, the potential energy can not be zero since the spring is not in equilibrium position. Hence, the potential energy is **positive**.
Exercise 85
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a fragment of NASA’s *Skylab* has mass $m = 1770~mathrm{kg}$ and it landed with speed $v = 120~mathrm{m/s}$. We calculte its kinetic energy.
Step 2
2 of 3
From the definition of kinetic energy, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE &= frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\
&= frac{1}{2} left(1770~mathrm{kg}right) left(120~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} \
&= 1.27440 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J} \
KE &= boxed{1.3 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J}}

Step 2
2 of 3
For objects near the earth surface, the gravitational potential energy is

$$
begin{aligned}
PE_text{gravity} &= mgh \
&= left(7.3~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(1.7~mathrm{m}right) \

$$
begin{aligned}
KE &= frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \
v^{2} &= frac{2KE}{m} \
implies v &= sqrt{ frac{2KE}{m} } \
&= sqrt{frac{2left(18~mathrm{J}right)}{0.15~mathrm{kg}}} \
&= 15.49193~mathrm{m/s} \
v &= boxed{15~mathrm{m/s}}

Step 2
2 of 3
The gravitational potential energy must be

$$
begin{aligned}
PE_text{gravity} &= mgh \

Exercise 90

We first calculate the spring constant $k$. From Hooke’s law, we hve

$$
begin{aligned}
F &= kx_{1} \
implies k &= frac{F}{x_{1}}

PE_text{spring} &= frac{1}{2}kx_{2}^{2} \
&= frac{1}{2} frac{F}{x_{1}}x_{2}^{2} \
&= frac{1}{2}frac{27~mathrm{N}}{4.4 times 10^{-2}~mathrm{m}} left(3.5 times 10^{-2}~mathrm{m}right)^{2} \
&= 0.37585~mathrm{J} \
PE_text{spring} &= boxed{0.38~mathrm{J}}

Exercise 92
Step 1
1 of 4
n this problem, a car of mass $m = 1100~mathrm{kg}$ is moving with speed $v_text{i} = 19~mathrm{m/s}$. After passing over an unpaved, sandy stretch of $d = 32~mathrm{m}$, the car’s speed becomes $v_text{f} = 12~mathrm{m/s}$. We calculate the sign of the work done on the car and the magnitude of the average force on the car in the sandy section.
Step 2
2 of 4
The work done on the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy $W = Delta KE$. The final speed is less than the initial speed, so the final kinetic energy is less than the initial kinetic energy. The change in kinetic energy is negative, so the work done is also **negative**.
Step 3
3 of 4
The force done on the car is $W = – Fd$, since the force and displacement are antiparallel in the sandy section. Equating the two expressions of work, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= W \
-Fd &= Delta KE = KE_text{f} – KE_text{i} \
-Fd &= frac{1}{2}mleft[v_text{f}^{2} – v_text{i}^{2}right] \
implies F &= frac{1}{2}frac{m}{d} left[v_text{i}^{2} – v_text{f}^{2}right] \
&= frac{1}{2} frac{1100~mathrm{kg}}{32~mathrm{m}} left[ left(19~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} – left(12~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} right] \
&= 3729.68750~mathrm{N} \
F &= boxed{3700~mathrm{N}}

Result

$$
F = 3700~mathrm{N}

In this problem, a bicyclist of mass $m_{1} = 65~mathrm{kg}$ is riding a bike of mass $m_{2} = 8.8~mathrm{kg}$ with a speed of $v = 14~mathrm{m/s}$. We calculate (a) the work required to stop the bike and rider, and (b) the magnitude of braking force if the bike comes to rest in $d = 3.5~mathrm{m}$.
Step 2

Part A.

Since the biker and rider stops, the final kinetic energy is $0$. Using the work-energy theorem, we have

In this problem, a player of mass $m = 62~mathrm{kg}$ slides a distance of $d = 3.4~mathrm{m}$ initially with speed $v = 4.5~mathrm{m/s}$. If the player comes to rest after travelling that distance, e calculate (a) the work done on the player and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2

In this problem, the speed of an object is $v_text{i} = 3.5~mathrm{m/s}$ and it kinetic energy is $KE_text{i} = 14~mathrm{J}$ at time $t = 0$. At time $t = 5.0~mathrm{s}$, the speed is $v_text{f} = 4.7~mathrm{m/s}$. We calculate (a) the object’s mass, (b) the kinetic energy at time $t = 5.0~mathrm{s}$, and (c) the work done on the object from $t = 0$ to $t = 5.0~mathrm{s}$.
Step 2

In this problem, a pendulum of mass $m = 0.33~mathrm{J}$ is attached to a string of length $l = 1.2~mathrm{m}$. We calculate the change in gravitational energy as it swing from point A to point B in Figure 6.12. Point B is the lowest point, and point A the end of the string when it is with an angle $theta = 35^{circ}$ with the vertical. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \

implies KE_text{f} &= KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} – PE_text{f} \

Exercise 98
Step 1

In this problem, an object has initial kinetic energy of $KE_text{i} = 10~mathrm{J}$ and initial potential energy of $PE_text{i} = 30~mathrm{J}$. We calculate the greatest possible potential energy and kinetic energy of the object.

Exercise 99
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a person throws a ball upward and let it fall to the ground. Another person drops an identical ball from the same initial height. We compare the change in kinetic energy of the two balls.
Step 2
2 of 3
### Part A.

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done by gravity. Since the balls are identical and starts from the same height, their initial potential energy are equal. Also, both go the the ground, so their final potential energy are equal. The work done by gravity will be equal for the two balls, so the change in kinetic energy will be **equal**.

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part B.

Based on the explanation above, the best choice is **C.** “the change in gravitational potential energy is the same for each bll, which means that the change in kinetic energy must also be the same”.

Exercise 100
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, we are given three balls of the same initial speed $v_text{i}$ but launched at different angles. We check which of the given statements is true about their speeds when the balls are at the dashed level.
Step 2
2 of 3
We calculate the speed when they are at the elevation of the dashed line, say $h$. Using energy conservation, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
frac{1}{2}mv_text{i}^{2} + 0 &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f}^{2} + mgh \
v_text{f}^{2} &= v_text{i}^{2} – 2gh \
implies v_text{f} &= sqrt{v_text{i}^{2} – 2gh}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 3
Notice that expression for the speed at this height is dependent only on $v_text{i}$, $g$, and $h$, all of which are equal for the balls. Hence, their speed must be **equal**. The correct choice is **C.** “all three balls have the same speed.”
Exercise 101
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a player passes at ball of mass $m = 0.600~mathrm{kg}$. The ball leaves the player’s hand with speed $v_text{i} = 8.30~mathrm{m/s}$ and it has speed $v_text{f} = 7.10~mathrm{m/s}$ at the maximum height. We calculate this maximum height. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
We use conservation of energy. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
frac{1}{2}mv_text{i}^{2} + 0 &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f}^{2} + mgh \
h &= frac{v_text{i}^{2} – v_text{i}^{2}}{2g} \
&= frac{left(8.30~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} – left(7.10~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2}}{2left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right)} \
&= 0.94190~mathrm{m} \

We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 7
### Part A.

For the first part, the initial speed is $0$, so the initial kinetic energy is

$$
KE_text{i} = boxed{0}
$$

Step 3
3 of 7
We can find the final energy using conservation of energy. We let the zero potential energy be the point of distance $h$ below the initial point. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
0 + mgh &= KE_text{f} + 0 \
implies KE_text{f} &= mgh \
&= left(5.76~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(2.00~mathrm{m}right)\
&= 113.0112~mathrm{J} \
KE_text{f} &= boxed{113~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 7
We now calculate the change in kinetic energy.

$$
begin{aligned}
Delta KE &= KE_text{f} – KE_text{i} \
&= 113.0112~mathrm{J} – 0 \
Delta KE &= boxed{113~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 5
5 of 7
### Part B.

For this part, the initial kinetic energy must be the final kinetic energy of the previous part. We have

$$
KE_text{i} = boxed{113~mathrm{J}}
$$

Step 6
6 of 7
We can find the final energy using conservation of energy. We let the zero potential energy be the point of distance h below the initial point. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
KE_text{i} + mgh &= KE_text{f} + 0 \
implies KE_text{f} &= KE_text{i}+ mgh \
&= 113.0112~mathrm{J} + left(5.76~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(2.00~mathrm{m}right)\
&= 226.0224~mathrm{J} \
KE_text{f} &= boxed{226~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 7
7 of 7
We now calculate the change in kinetic energy.

$$
begin{aligned}
Delta KE &= KE_text{f} – KE_text{i} \
&= 226.0224~mathrm{J} – 113.0112~mathrm{J} \
Delta KE &= boxed{113~mathrm{J}}

tt{(b) we will apply the energy conservation formula again but $E_f$ will be the energy of the rock at its greatest height meaning $h=h_{max}$ and $v_f=0$ (since the rock can not travel anymore upwards and about to start falling):

The lenght of the string is $l = 1.2~mathrm{m}$ and makes an angle of $theta = 35^{circ}$when the bob is at point A. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.

### Part B.

We use conservation of energy to find the speed at point A. We have

This problem is a continuation of Problem 106. We calculate the kinetic energy at point B, and the change in potential energy when the bob reaches its point of zero speed (the maximum height), and the angle corresponding to this maximum height. The bob has mass $m = 0.33~mathrm{kg}$ and has initial speed $v_text{i} = 2.4~mathrm{m/s}$ and the string has length $l = 1.2~mathrm{m}$.
Step 2

$$

Step 3

Part B.

For this part, we calculate the change in gravitational potential energy when the bob moves from point B to the point it hs zero speed. Since the speed is zero, all of htei nitial kinetic energy must have been converted into potential energy. The change in potential energy must be equal to the kinetic energy when the bob is at point B. We have

$$
Delta PE = 0.95~mathrm{J}

In this problem, we are given two masses in a pulley, as showin in Figure 6.14. They are initially at the same height, with zero initial speed. The large mass $m_{2}$ falls through a distance of $h$. We calculate the speed of the masses just before $m_{2}$ hits the ground, and evaluate the expression for $m_{1} = 3.7~mathrm{kg}$, $m_{2} = 4.1~mathrm{kg}$ and $h = 1.2~mathrm{m}$. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
### Part A.

For this part, we let their initial position be the position of $0$ potential energy. Since the masses are connected by a fixed length rope, their speeds must always be equal. Using energy conservation, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= PE_text{f} + KE_text{f} \
0 + 0 &= m_{1}gh + m_{2}g left(-hright) + frac{1}{2}left(m_{1} + m_{2}right)v^{2} \
v^{2} &= frac{2gh left(m_{2} – m_{1}right)}{m_{2} + m_{1}} \
implies v &= boxed{ sqrt{frac{2gh left(m_{2} – m_{1}right)}{m_{2} + m_{1}}} }

We are given that $P_{1} = 2P_{2}$. The work produced by an engine is given by

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
implies W &= Pt
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 3
The work done for the two engines is the same, so we have

$$
begin{aligned}
W_{1} &= W_{2} \
P_{1}t_{1} &= P_{2}t_{2} \
left(2P_{2}right)T &= P_{2}t_{2} \
implies t_{2} &= boxed{2T}
end{aligned}
$$
Since engine 2 has half the power of engine 1, it would take twice the time to product the same power.

Exercise 110
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, we are given that the power produced by Engine 1 is twice of the power of Engine 2. If it takes engine 1 time T to do work W, we calculate the time engine 2 do the work $3W$.
Step 2
2 of 4
First, we calculate the power of engine 1. We have, from definition

$$
begin{aligned}
P_{1} &= frac{W}{T}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
We are given then $P_{1} = 2P_{2}$, so $P_{2}$ must be

$$
begin{aligned}
P_{2} &= frac{P_{1}}{2} \
P_{2} &= frac{W}{2T}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 4
We now calculate the time needed for engine 2 to do work $3W$. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
P_{2} &= frac{3W}{t_{2}} \
implies t_{2} &= frac{3W}{W/2T} \
t_{2} &= boxed{6T}
end{aligned}
$$

Exercise 111
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, we are given four forces that do different work for different times. We have

| Force | Work | Time |
| — | — | — |
| A | $5~mathrm{J}$ | $10~mathrm{s}$ |
| B | $3~mathrm{J}$ | $5~mathrm{s}$ |
| C | $6~mathrm{J}$ | $18~mathrm{s}$ |
| D | $25~mathrm{J}$ | $125~mathrm{s}$ |

We rank the forces in order of increasing power produced.

Step 2
2 of 5
From the definition of power, we have

$$
P = frac{W}{t}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
We calculate the power produced by each force

$$
begin{aligned}
P_{A} &= frac{W_{A}}{t_{A}} = frac{5~mathrm{J}}{10~mathrm{s}} &= 0.5~mathrm{W} \
P_{B} &= frac{W_{B}}{t_{B}} = frac{3~mathrm{J}}{5~mathrm{s}} &= 0.6~mathrm{W} \
P_{C} &= frac{W_{C}}{t_{C}} = frac{6~mathrm{J}}{18~mathrm{s}} &= 0.3~mathrm{W} \
P_{D} &= frac{W_{D}}{t_{D}} = frac{25~mathrm{J}}{125~mathrm{s}} &= 0.2~mathrm{W} \
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
We see that the correct ranking

$$
boxed{P_{D} < P_{C} < P_{A} < P_{B}}
$$

Result
5 of 5
$$
P_{D} < P_{C} < P_{A} < P_{B}
$$
Exercise 112
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, we are given four forces that do different work and produced different power.

| Force | Work | Power |
| — | — | — |
| A | $40~mathrm{J}$ | $80~mathrm{W}$ |
| B | $35~mathrm{J}$ | $5~mathrm{W}$ |
| C | $75~mathrm{J}$ | $25~mathrm{W}$ |
| D | $60~mathrm{J}$ | $30~mathrm{W}$ |

We rank the forces in increasing time required to do the work.

Step 2
2 of 5
The time required to do the work is

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
implies t &= frac{W}{P}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
We calculate the time for each force

$$
begin{aligned}
t_{A} &= frac{W_{A}}{P_{A}} = frac{40~mathrm{J}}{80~mathrm{W}} &=0.5~mathrm{s} \
t_{B} &= frac{W_{B}}{P_{B}} = frac{35~mathrm{J}}{5~mathrm{W}} &=7~mathrm{s} \
t_{C} &= frac{W_{C}}{P_{C}} = frac{75~mathrm{J}}{25~mathrm{W}} &=3~mathrm{s} \
t_{D} &= frac{W_{D}}{P_{D}} = frac{60~mathrm{J}}{30~mathrm{W}} &=2~mathrm{s}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
We see that the rank of increasing time is

$$
boxed{ t_{A} < t_{D} < t_{C} < t_{B} }
$$

Result
5 of 5
$$
t_{A} < t_{D} < t_{C} < t_{B}
$$
Exercise 113
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, we are asked how much energy in joules are there in a kilowatt-hour.
Step 2
2 of 5
One kilo-watt is 1000 watts, so

$$
P = 1000~mathrm{W}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
One hour, in seconds, is 3600. So the time must be

$$
t = 3600~mathrm{s}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
The energy must be

$$
begin{aligned}
E &= Pt \
&= left(1000~mathrm{W}right) left(3600~mathrm{s}right) \
&= 3600000~mathrm{J} \
E &= boxed{3.6 times 10^{6}~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result

$$
E = 3.6 times 10^{6}~mathrm{J}

Exercise 114
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, we estimate the power produced when walking leiurely up a flight of stairs.
Step 2
2 of 4
We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$. An average person has mass $m = 65~mathrm{kg}$. An average flight of stairs is $h = 3.0~mathrm{m}$ high and it takes $t = 12~mathrm{s}$ to climb leisurely. The work done must be equal to the potential energy at the top, so we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
&= frac{mgh}{t} \
&= frac{left(65~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(3.0~mathrm{m}right)}{12~mathrm{s}} \
&= 159.4125~mathrm{W} \
P &= boxed{160~mathrm{W}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3

In horsepower, with $1~mathrm{hp} = 746~mathrm{W}$, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= 159.4125~mathrm{W} frac{1~mathrm{hp}}{746~mathrm{W}} \
&= 0.21369~mathrm{hp} \
P &= boxed{0.21~mathrm{hp}}
end{aligned}

$$
P = 160~mathrm{W} = 0.21~mathrm{hp}

Exercise 115
Step 1

In this problem, a box of weight $w = 88~mathrm{N}$ straight upwards with power $P = 72~mathrm{W}$. We calculate the speed of the of the box.
Step 2
2 of 3
The force applied is equal to the weight of the box. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= Fv \
implies v &= frac{P}{F} \
&= frac{P}{w} \
&= frac{72~mathrm{W}}{88~mathrm{N}} \
&= 0.81818~mathrm{m/s} \
v &= boxed{0.82~mathrm{m/s}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result

$$
v = 0.82~mathrm{m/s}
$$
Exercise 116
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, to prevent a ship from sinking, it is necessary to pump $m/t = 12~mathrm{kg/s}$ of water from below deck $d = 2.1~mathrm{m}$ upward and over the side. We calculate the minimum horsepower motor that can be used to save the ship. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$ and $1~mathrm{hp} = 746~mathrm{W}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
The power required must be equal to the work done per unit time. The amount of work is equal to the change in potential energy of the water

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
&= frac{mgh}{t} \
&= ghfrac{m}{t} \
&= left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(2.1~mathrm{m}right) left(12~mathrm{kg/s}right) left( frac{1~mathrm{hp}}{746~mathrm{W}}right) \
&= 0.33138~mathrm{hp} \

Exercise 117
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, a person powers an aircraft. The person would produce a sustained power output of $P = 0.30~mathrm{hp}$. The *Gossamer Albatross* flew across the English Channel in $t = 2~mathrm{hour}~49~mathrm{min}$. We calculate the energy the pilot spent during the flight, and the number of candy bars of energy $280~mathrm{Cal}$ would the pilot have to conume to be “fueled up” for the flight. The conversion factors are $1~mathrm{hp} = 746~mathrm{W}$ and $1~mathrm{Cal} = 4186~mathrm{J}$.
Step 2
2 of 5
Part A.

We first convert the given power and time into SI units

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= 0.30~mathrm{hp} times frac{746~mathrm{W}}{1~mathrm{hp}} = 223.8~mathrm{W} \
t &= 2~mathrm{hour}~49~mathrm{min} = 10140~mathrm{s}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
The amount of energy spent is equal to the product of the power and time, hence

$$
begin{aligned}
E &= Pt \
&= left(223.8~mathrm{W}right) left(10140~mathrm{s}right) \
&= 2269332~mathrm{J} \
E &= 2.3 times 10^{6}~mathrm{J}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
### Part B.

The amount of energy per candy bar must be

$$
begin{aligned}
E_text{bar} &= 280~mathrm{Cal} times frac{4186~mathrm{J}}{1~mathrm{Cal}} = 1172080~mathrm{J}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 5
5 of 5
The number of candy bards must be $E/E_text{bar}$

$$
begin{aligned}
frac{E}{E_text{bar}} &= frac{2269332~mathrm{J}}{1172080~mathrm{J}} \
&= 1.93626 \
&= boxed{2}
end{aligned}
$$

Exercise 118
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, a grandfather clock i powered by the decent of a $m = 4.35~mathrm{kg}$ weight. If the weight descends for $h = 0.760~~mathrm{m}$ in $t = 3.25~mathrm{days}$. We calculate the power delivered, and we are asked to change the time to increase te power delivered. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
### Part A.

We first convert the time into SI units. We have

$$
t = 3.25~mathrm{days} = 280800~mathrm{s}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
The work delivered must be equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
&= frac{mgh}{t} \
&= frac{left(4.35~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(0.760~mathrm{m}right)}{280800~mathrm{s}} \
&= 1.15498 times 10^{-4}~mathrm{W} \
P &= boxed{1.15 times 10^{-4}~mathrm{W}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 4
### Part B.

From the definition of power, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
P &propto frac{1}{t}
end{aligned}
$$

The relationship between the power delivered and time is inverse. To increase the power, the time must be **decreased.**

Exercise 119
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, we are asked if we have to do work to get out of bed.
Step 2
2 of 2
The answer is **yes**. The center of gravity moves up when we get out of bed, so work is done to move the center of gravity upwards.
Exercise 120
Step 1
1 of 2
In this problem, a leaf falls to the ground with constant speed. We are asked to compare $PE_text{i} + KE_text{i}$ with $PE_text{f} + KE_text{f}$.
Step 2
2 of 2
The speed is constant, so $KE_text{i} = KE_text{f}$. However, since it is moving down, $PE_text{i} > PE_text{f}$ for the initial height is greater than the final height. From these two relations, we can say that $PE_text{i} + KE_text{i}$ is **greater than** $PE_text{f} + KE_text{f}$. The mising energy is due to the work done by air resistance, a non-conservative force.
Exercise 121
Step 1

In this problem, a ball is dropped from rest. We are asked to identify which graph in Figure 6.15 corresponds to the (a) potential energy, (b) kinetic energy, and (c) the total mechanical energy for the ball as it falls to the ground. We assume that the system is ideal.
Step 2
2 of 4
### Part A.

The potential energy of the ball must start from its maximum value to its minimum, since the potential energy decreases as the ball falls. The graph of potential energy is **graph B**.

Step 3
3 of 4
### Part B.

The kinetic energy starts from 0, since the ball starts from rest, and continues increasing until the ball hits the ground. The graph of kinetic energy is **graph C.**

Step 4
4 of 4
### Part C.

The total mechanical energy is constant, and **graph A** is the graph corresponding to a constant.

Exercise 122
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, we are given that a spring has spring constant $k = 310~mathrm{N/m}$. We are asked to plot the potential energy of the spring when it is tretched for $x = 1.0~mathrm{cm}$, $x = 2.0~mathrm{cm}$, $x = 3.0~mathrm{cm}$, and $x = 4.0~mathrm{cm}$. We also illustrate the curve passing through the plotted points.
Step 2
2 of 4
The graph must follow the equation

$$
begin{aligned}
PE &= frac{1}{2}kx^{2} \
&= frac{1}{2}left(310~mathrm{N/m}right)x^{2} \
PE &= boxed{ left(155~mathrm{N/m} right)x^{2} }
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3

To find the points, we plug the given $x$ values into the equation of $PE$. We get

| $x$ | $PE$ |

| $2.0~mathrm{cm}$ | $0.062~mathrm{J}$ |
| $3.0~mathrm{cm}$ | $0.1395~mathrm{J}$ |
| $4.0~mathrm{cm}$ | $0.248~mathrm{J}$ |

Exercise 123
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, a small motor run a lift that raises a load of bricks weight $w = 836~mathrm{N}$ to a height of $h = 10.7~mathrm{m}$ in $t = 23.3~mathrm{s}$. The load is lifted with contant speed. We calculate the minimum power that must be produced by the motor.
Step 2
2 of 5
The speed must be equal to the change in height divided by the time, hence

$$
v = frac{h}{t}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
The minimum force exerted by the motor must be equal to the weight of the bricks, hence

$$
F = w
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
The minimum power produced must be

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= Fv \
&= left(wright) left(frac{h}{t}right) \
&= left(836~mathrm{N}right) left(frac{10.7~mathrm{m}}{23.2~mathrm{s}}right)\

Exercise 124
Step 1

In this problem, we are given the the human brain consumes $P = 22~mathrm{W}$ of power under normal conditions. We calculate how long can a Snickers bar power the normally functioning brain. One candy bar has energy $E = 280~mathrm{Cal}$, with $1~mathrm{Cal} = 4186~mathrm{J}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
First, we calculate the amount of energy of a single candy bar. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
E &= 280~mathrm{Cal} times frac{4186~mathrm{J}}{1~mathrm{Cal}} \
E &= 1172080~mathrm{J}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
To find the time $t$, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{E}{t} \
implies t &= frac{E}{P} \
&= frac{1172080~mathrm{J}}{22~mathrm{W}} \
&= 53276.36364~mathrm{s} \
t &= boxed{5.3 times 10^{5}~mathrm{s}}

$$
t = 5.3 times 10^{5}~mathrm{s}

Exercise 126
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, a box of mass $m = 67~mathrm{kg}$ is pushed across the florr, with coefficient of friction $mu_{k} = 0.55$. The force exerted is horizontal. We calculate the power needed to push the box at speed $v = 0.50~mathrm{m/s}$. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
We first calculate the force applied on the box. The speed is constant, so the net force must be zero.

$$
begin{aligned}
0 &= F – mu_{k}mg \
implies F &= mu_{k} mg
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
The power must be

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= Fv \
&= mu_{k} mgv \
&= left(0.55right) left(67~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(0.50~mathrm{m/s}right) \
&= 180.74925~mathrm{W} \
P &= boxed{180~mathrm{W}}

In this problem, a janitor pushed a mop handle with force $F = 43~mathrm{N}$. We are given two subproblems.
Step 2
2 of 5
### Part A.

For this part, the mop is angled $theta = 55^{circ}$ above the horizontal, and the mop is pushed for $d = 0.50~mathrm{m}$. We calculate the work done.

Step 3
3 of 5
The angle between the force and the displacement is $theta$, hence

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd cos theta \
&= left(43~mathrm{N}right) left(0.50~mathrm{m}right) cos 55^{circ} \
&= 12.33189~mathrm{J} \
W &= boxed{12~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
### Part B.

For this part, the angle is increased to $theta = 65^{circ}$. We calculate what happens to the work done.

Step 5
5 of 5
The component of the force parallel to the displacement is $F cos theta$. The value of $cos theta$ decreases as the angle with the horizontal goes higher, hence the work done must also **decrease** since the work is proportional to the parallel component of the force.
Exercise 128
Step 1

In this problem, a small airplane tows a glider at constant speed and altitude. It does $W = 2.00 times 10^{5}~mathrm{J}$ of work to tow the glider for $d = 145~mathrm{m}$ and the tension in the tow rope is $F = 2560~mathrm{N}$. We calculate the angle between the tow rope and the horizontal.
Step 2
2 of 3
The equation of work is

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Fd cos theta \
cos theta &= frac{W}{Fd} \
implies theta &= cos^{-1} left[ frac{W}{Fd} right] \
&= cos^{-1} left[ frac{2.00 times 10^{5}~mathrm{J}}{left(2560~mathrm{N}right) left(145~mathrm{m}right)} right] \
&= 57.39848^{circ} \
theta &= boxed{57.4^{circ}}

In this problem, a force of $F = 21~mathrm{N}$ is exerted to mix a bag of chocolate chip into a bowl of cookie dough. We calculate (a) the power required to move the spoon by $v = 0.23~mathrm{m/s}$ and (b) the work done for time $t = 1.5~mathrm{minutes}$.
Step 2
2 of 5
### Part A.

For this part, we know the relationship between the power produced, force, and the speed

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= Fv \

P &= boxed{4.8~mathrm{W}}

$$

Step 3
3 of 5
### Part B.

First, we convert the time given into SI units

$$
begin{aligned}
t &= 1.5~mathrm{min} times frac{60~mathrm{s}}{1~mathrm{min}} \
t &= 90~mathrm{s}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
The work done is equal to the product of the power produced and the time this power does work. We have

&= 434.7~mathrm{J} \
W &= boxed{430~mathrm{J}}

Exercise 131
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, a ball of mass $m$ is dropped from rest from a height $h$, and its kinetic energy right before landing is $KE$. Another ball of mass $4m$ is dropped from rest is dropped from rest from height $h/4$. We calculate the second ball’s kinetic energy in terms of $KE$, and explain why.
Step 2
2 of 4
### Part A.

Right before the ball falls, all of its initial potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Using energy conservation, we have

$$
KE = mgh
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
For the second ball, the equation becomes

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_{2} &= left(4mright)gleft(h/4right) \
KE_{2} &= mgh \
KE_{2} &= boxed{KE}
end{aligned}
$$

We see that despite having different masses and initial heights, both of the balls have equal initial potential energy, so their final kinetic energy must also be equal.

Step 4
4 of 4
### Part B.

Based on the solution above, the best solution is **A.** “the two balls have the same initial energy.”

Exercise 132
Step 1

In this probllem, a meteorite of mass $m = 12~mathrm{kg}$ struck a car, creating a dent of $d = 0.20~mathrm{m}$. The initial speed of the meteorite is $v = 550~mathrm{m/s}$. We calculate the average force exerted on the meteorite by the car.
Step 2
2 of 3
The work done is also equal to the change in kinetic energy, as stated in the work-energy theorem. The meteorite stops, so its final kinetic energy must be zero. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Delta KE = KE_text{f} – KE_text{i} \
-Fd &= 0 – frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \
implies F &= frac{1}{2} frac{m}{d} v^{2} \
&= frac{1}{2} frac{12~mathrm{kg}}{0.22~mathrm{m}} left(550~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} \
&= 8.25 times 10^{6}~mathrm{N} \
F &= boxed{8.2 times 10^{6}~mathrm{N}}
end{aligned}

Exercise 133
Step 1

$a)$

$m=(3.6)kg$

power output,$quad P=(22)W$

Now,$quad P=Fv=(mg)v$

$Rightarrowquad v=dfrac{P}{mg}=dfrac{(22)W}{(3.6)(9.8)N}$

$Rightarrowquadunderline{v=(0.62)m/s}$

So, the $3.6$ $kg$ milk container must be lifted at rate of $boxed{(0.62)m/s}$ for power output of arm to be $(22)W$

$b)quad$resistance,$quad d=(1.0)m$

so,$quad d=vt$

$Rightarrowquad$Time $(t)=(d/v)=(dfrac{1.0}{0.62})sapprox(1.6)s$

Hence, it takes $boxed{(1.6)s}$ to lift the container through a distance of $(1.0)m$

In this problem, a catapult launcher accelerates a rest from rest $v_text{i} = 0$ to $v_text{f} = 72~mathrm{m/s}$. The work done during the launch is $W = 7.6 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J}$. We calculate (a) the mass of the jet and (b) the power output if the contact time is $t = 2.0~mathrm{s}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
### Part A.

The work done must be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the jet

$$
begin{aligned}
W &= Delta KE = KE_text{f} – KE_text{i} \
W &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f}^{2} – 0 \
implies m &= frac{2W}{v_text{f}^{2}} \
&= frac{2left(7.6 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J}right)}{left(72~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2}} \
&= 2.93210 times 10^{4}~mathrm{kg} \
m &= boxed{2.9 times 10^{4}~mathrm{kg}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
### Part B.

The power output is the rate in which work is done, so we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
&= frac{7.6 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J}}{2.0~mathrm{s}} \
P &= boxed{3.8 times 10^{7}~mathrm{W}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result

$$
begin{aligned}
m &= 2.9 times 10^{4}~mathrm{kg} \
P &= 3.8 times 10^{7}~mathrm{W}
end{aligned}

Exercise 135

In this problem, a water skier is at an angle $theta = 35^{circ}$ with respect to the center line of the boat and is begin pulled with constant speed $v = 14~mathrm{m/s}$ (refer to Figure 6.11). The tension on the rope is $F = 90.0~mathrm{N}$. We calculate (a) the work done by the rope on the skier in $t = 10.0~mathrm{s}$ and (b) the work done by the resistive force of water on the skier at the same time.
Step 2
2 of 5
### Part A.

The magnitude of displacement is equal to the speed times time. We have

$$
d = vt
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
The parallel component of the force if $F cos theta$. The work done must be

$$
begin{aligned}
W_text{rope} &= Fd cos theta \
&= Fvt cos theta \
&= left(90.0~mathrm{N}right) left(14~mathrm{m/s}right) left(10.0~mathrm{s}right) cos 35^circ \
&= 1.03213 times 10^{4}~mathrm{J} \
W_text{rope} &= boxed{1.0 times 10^{4}~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
### Part B.

The total work done on the object is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Since the speed is constant, the kinetic energy must be contant and the total work done must be zero. To achieve this, the work done by the water must be equal in magnitude to the work done by the rope but opposite in sign. Hence

$$
W_text{water} = boxed{-1.0 times 10^{4}~mathrm{J}}
$$

Result
5 of 5
$$
begin{aligned}
W_text{rope} &= 1.0 times 10^{4}~mathrm{J} \
W_text{water} &= -1.0 times 10^{4}~mathrm{J}

Exercise 137
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, a pitcher accelerates a hardball of mass $m = 0.14~mathrm{kg}$ from rest $v_text{i} = 0$ to $v_text{f} = 25.5~mathrm{m/s}$ in time $t = 0.075~mathrm{s}$. We calculate (a) the work done on the ball, (b) the power produced by the pitcher, and (c) what happens to the power if the time is less that $0.075~mathrm{s}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
### Part B.

The power produced is equal to the rate in which work is done, and we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
&= frac{45.5175~mathrm{J}}{0.075~mathrm{s}} \
&= 606.9~mathrm{W} \
P &= boxed{610~mathrm{W}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 3
### Part C.

From the definition of power, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
P &= frac{W}{t} \
implies P &propto frac{1}{t}
end{aligned}
$$

The relationship between the power produced and the time it does work is inverse proportion. Since the time is decreased, the power produce must be **more than** the power we initially calculated.

Exercise 138
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, the average power output of the human heart is $P = 1.33~mathrm{W}$. We calculate (a) the energy it produces in $1$ day, and (b) compare this energy to the energy required to walk up a flight of stairs.
Step 2
2 of 4
### Part A.

First, we convert the given time into SI units

$$
begin{aligned}
t &= 1~mathrm{day} times frac{24~mathrm{hours}}{1~mathrm{day}} times frac{3600~mathrm{s}}{1~mathrm{hour}} \
t &= 86400~mathrm{s}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
The energy it produces must be equal to the power output times the time the heat does work

$$
begin{aligned}
E &= Pt \
&= left(1.33~mathrm{W}right) left(86400~mathrm{s}right) \
&= 1.14912 times 10^{5}~mathrm{J} \
E &= boxed{1.15 times 10^{5}~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 4
### Part B.

The amount of energy used in climbing a set of stairs must be equal to the gravitational potential energy at the top step with total height $h$. An average person has mass $m = 65.0~mathrm{kg}$ and we use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.

$$
begin{aligned}
E &= mgh \
implies h &= frac{E}{mg} \
&= frac{1.14912 times 10^{5}~mathrm{J}}{left(65.0~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right)} \
&= 180.21171~mathrm{m} \
h &= boxed{180.~mathrm{m}}
end{aligned}
$$

Exercise 139
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, a sled slides without friction down a small, ice-covered hill. It starts from rest $v_text{i,1} = 0$ at the top of the hill and the speed at the bottom is $v_text{f, 1} = 7.50~mathrm{m/s}$. On the second run, it starts with $v_text{i, 2} = 1.50~mathrm{m/s}$. We calculate the final speed of the sled after the second run.
Step 2
2 of 5
### Part A.

Notice that since there is no friction, the total mechanical energy is conserved. Also, in both cases, $m$ and $h$ are the same. For the first run, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i,1} + PE_text{i,1} &= KE_text{f,1} + PE_text{f,1} \
0 + mgh &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f,1}^{2} + 0 \
implies mgh &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f,1}^{2}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
For the second run, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i,2} + PE_text{i,2} &= KE_text{f,2} + PE_text{f,2} \
frac{1}{2}mv_text{i,2}^{2} + mgh &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f,2}^{2} + 0 \
frac{1}{2}mv_text{i,2}^{2} + frac{1}{2}mv_text{f,1}^{2} &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f,2}^{2} \
implies v_text{f,2}^{2} &= v_text{i,2}^{2} + v_text{f,1}^{2}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
From the last equation in the previous step, we see that $v_text{i,2} = 1.50~mathrm{m/s}$, $v_text{f,1} = 7.50~mathrm{m/s}$, and $v_text{f,2}$ follow a relationship that looks like the Pythagorean theorem, and we know that for any set of numbers that can be sides of a triangle, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
v_text{f,2} &< v_text{i,2} + v_text{f,1} \
&< 1.50~mathrm{m/s} + 7.50~mathrm{m/s} \
v_text{f,2} &< 9.00~mathrm{m/s}
end{aligned}
$$

We see that the speed is **less than** $9.00~mathrm{m/s}$.

Step 5
5 of 5
### Part B.

From the equation we derived, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
v_text{f,2}^{2} &= v_text{i,2}^{2} + v_text{f,1}^{2} \
implies v_text{f,2} &= sqrt{v_text{i,2}^{2} + v_text{f,1}^{2} }\
&= sqrt{left(1.50~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} + left(7.50~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2}} \
&= 7.64853~mathrm{m/s} \
v_text{f,2} &= boxed{7.65~mathrm{m/s}}
end{aligned}
$$

Exercise 140
Step 1
1 of 3
In this problem, an airplane of mass $m = 1865~mathrm{kg}$ starts at rest on an airport runway at sea level. We calculate the change in mechanical energy of the airplane if it climb to an altitude of $h = 2420~mathrm{m}$ and maintains a constant speed of $v = 96.5~mathrm{m/s}$. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
The initial total mechanical energy is zero, since the airplane is at rest and at sea level. The change must be

$$
begin{aligned}
Delta E &= E_text{f} – E_text{i} = E_text{f} – 0 \
&= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
&= frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + mgh \
&= frac{1}{2}left(1865~mathrm{kg}right) left(96.5~mathrm{m/s}right)^{2} + left(1865~mathrm{kg}right) left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(2420~mathrm{m}right) \
&= 5.29591 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J} \
Delta E &= boxed{5.30 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result

$$
Delta E = 5.30 times 10^{7}~mathrm{J}
$$
Exercise 141
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, a person slides down a water slide of height $h$, and the slide is elevated at $h_{1} = 1.50~mathrm{m}$ above the pool. The person starts at rest from the top of the slide, and lands in the water at $d = 2.50~mathrm{m}$ from the end of the slide. Assuming that the water slide is frictionless. we calculate $h$.
Step 2
2 of 5
Right before leaving the slide, the person has purely horizontal velocity. Hence, the vertical component of the velocity right before free fall is zero. Using kinematic equations, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
h_{1} &= v_{y}t + frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = 0 + frac{1}{2}gt^{2} \
h_{1} &= frac{1}{2}gt^{2} \
t^{2} &= frac{2h_{1}}{g} \
implies t &= sqrt{frac{2h_1}{g}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
The horizontal velocity after leaving the slide is constant, since there is no horizontal force. This velocity must be equal to the velocity $v_text{f}$ of the slide (final speed in the slide).

$$
begin{aligned}
v_text{f} &= frac{d}{t} \
v_text{f} &= d sqrt{frac{g}{2h_{1}}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
Using conservation of energy, with the reference at the bottom of the slide, we have

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
0 + mgh &= frac{1}{2}mv_text{f}^{2} + 0 \
implies h &= frac{1}{2g}v_text{f}^{2} \
&= frac{1}{2g} left(dsqrt{frac{g}{2h_{1}}}right)^{2} \
&= frac{1}{2g} frac{d^{2}g}{2h_{1}} \
&= frac{d^{2}}{4h_{1}} \
&= frac{left(2.50~mathrm{m}right)^{2}}{4left(1.50~mathrm{m}right)} \
&= 1.04167~mathrm{m} \
h &= boxed{1.04~mathrm{m}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result

$$
h = 1.04~mathrm{m}

In this problem, a skateboarded starts at point A with speed $v$ and rises to a height of $h = 2.64~mathrm{m}$ above the top of the ramp at point B. We calculate the speed $v$. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
We can use conservation of energy in this problem. Let the top of the ramp be the reference point for the potential energy.

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + 0 &= 0 + mgh \
v^{2} &= 2gh \
implies v &= sqrt{2gh} \
&= sqrt{2left(9.81~mathrm{m/s^{2}}right) left(2.64~mathrm{m}right)} \
&= 7.19700~mathrm{m/s} \
v &= boxed{7.20~mathrm{m/s}}
end{aligned}
$$

Result

$$
v = 7.20~mathrm{m/s}

Exercise 143
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, a block of mass $m = 1.9~mathrm{kg}$ slides down a frictionless ramp as shown in Figure 6.20. The top of the ramp is $h_{1} = 1.5~mathrm{m}$ above the ground, and the bottom of the ramp is $h_{2} = 0.25~mathrm{m}$ above the ground. The blockleaves the ramp moving horizontally and lands a distance $d$ away. We calculate $d$. We use $g = 9.81~mathrm{m/s}$.
Step 2
2 of 5
First, we use conservation of energy to find the horizontal speed $v$ of the block. Using the ground as reference for the gravitational potential energy

$$
begin{aligned}
KE_text{i} + PE_text{i} &= KE_text{f} + PE_text{f} \
0 + mgh_{1} &= frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + mgh_{2} \
v^{2} &= 2gleft(h_{1} – h_{2}right) \
implies v &= sqrt{2gleft(h_{1} – h_{2}right)}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
We find the time that the block is in free fall. It has no vertical velocity right before leaving the slide, so

$$
begin{aligned}
h_{2} &= frac{1}{2}gt^{2} \
t^{2} &= frac{2h_{2}}{g} \
implies t &= sqrt{frac{2h_{2}}{g}}
end{aligned}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
The distance $d$ must be equal to the product of the speed and time. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
d &= vt \
&= left(sqrt{2gleft(h_{1} – h_{2}right)} right) left(sqrt{frac{2h_{2}}{g}}right) \
&= sqrt{4h_{2} left(h_{1} – h_{2}right)} \
&= sqrt{4left(0.25~mathrm{m}right) left(1.5~mathrm{m} – 0.25~mathrm{m}right)} \
&= 1.11803~mathrm{m}\
d &= boxed{1.1~mathrm{m}}

Exercise 144
Step 1
1 of 6
In this problem, we are asked to report on the power produced by the human body.
Step 2
2 of 6
As a living thing, the human body continuously produces power to keep the vital organs working. Normally, the human metabolism produces heat of around $P = 80~mathrm{W}$.
Step 3
3 of 6
The first organ we check is the brain. The brain has power of around $P = 20~mathrm{W}$. We see that the brain consumes a large portion of the regular body metabolism.
Step 4
4 of 6
On the other hand, a resting heart produces a power of around $P = 1.33~mathrm{W}$. This can be calculated by measuring the pressure of the fluid pumped by the blood and the flow rate of the blood while in circulation.
Step 5
5 of 6
We also list the power output for some trenous activities. An example is biking. Biking produces around $P = 100~mathrm{W}$, while exercising can produce $P = 50~mathrm{W}$ to $P = 150~mathrm{W}$. Professional swimmers can reach up to $P = 1200~mathrm{W}$ for a brief period while swimming.
Step 6

The following is a table of the values we have gathered:

|Organ/Activity | Power in Watts|
|–|–|
| Human metabolism | 80 |
| Human brain | 20 |
| Human heart | 1.33 |
| Biking | 100 |
| Exercise | 50-100 |
| Professional swimming (bursts) | 1200 |

Exercise 145
Step 1

In this problem, the mechanical energy of a falling ball stays the same even though it is constantly speeding up. Similarly, a ball thrown upward slows down even though its mechanical energy stays the same. We explain why the energy conservation is true for both cases.
Step 2
2 of 3
In the first case, the ball is falling. While it gains speed, its kinetic energy is increasing. However, as it goes down, its gravitational potential energy decreases. The effect of the increase in kinetic energy and decrease in potential energy would result to a **net change of zero.**
Step 3
3 of 3
In the second case, the ball is rising. While it gains height, its gravitational potential energy is increasing. However, as it slows down, its kinetic energy decreases. The effect of the increase in gravitational potential energy and decrease in kinetic energy would result to a **net change of zero.**
Exercise 146
Step 1

In this problem, we are given the power required $P$ vs speed $v$ graph of a dinosaur *Microraptor gui*. The minimum value of power needed is $P_text{min} = 8.1~mathrm{W}$, which is needed to fly at $v = 10~mathrm{m/s}$. The lower horizontal line shows the estimated $P = 9.8~mathrm{W}$ power of the dinosaur, indicating the range of speed for which flight can be possible. Based on the graph, we estimate the range of flight speeds if the *Microraptor gui* can produce a power of $P = 9.8~mathrm{W}$.
Step 2

Based on the graph, the lower boundary of the range is slightly below $10~mathrm{m/s}$.

The upper boundary is midway of $20~mathrm{m/s}$ and $30~mathrm{m/s}$, which is around $25~mathrm{m/s}$.

From the given, the power produced for the given speed is $P = 8.1~mathrm{W}$.
Step 3

Next, we convert the given time into SI units. We have

$$
begin{aligned}
t &= 1.0~mathrm{min} times frac{60~mathrm{s}}{1~mathrm{min}} \
t &= 60.~mathrm{s}

The energy must be equal to the product of the power produced and the time the dinosaur does work while in flight. We have
