Spiderman, whose mass is 80.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.0-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 60.0 angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this maneuver?
Give an example of a situation in which there is a force and a displacement, but the force does no work. Explain why it does no work.
(a) How long will it take an 850-kg car with a useful power output of 40.0 hp (1hp=746W) to reach a speed of 15.0 m/s, neglecting friction? (b) How long will this acceleration take if the car also climbs a 3.00-m-high hill in the process?
Does the work you do on a book when you lift it onto a shelf depend on the path taken? On the time taken? On the height of the shelf? On the mass of the book?
A sled stalls from rest at the top of a snow-covered incline that makes a 22 angle with the horizontal. After sliding 75 m down the slope, its speed is 14 m/s. Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snowy surface.
A person in good physical condition can put out 100 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mechanism that drives an electric generator. Neglecting any problems of generator efficiency and practical considerations such as resting time: (a) How many people ‘would it take to nm a 4.O0-kW electric clothes dryer? (b) How many people would it take to replace a large electric power plant that generates 800 MW?
A 500-kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 110 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an average frictional force of 1200 N. What is its average power output in watts and horsepower if this takes 7.30s?
a shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 35 N directed at an angle of 25 below the horizontal. The force is just sufficient to overcome various frictional forces, so the cart moves at constant speed, (a) Find the work done by the shopper as she moves down a 50.0-m length aisle, (b) What is the net work done on the cart? Why? (c) The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the work done by frictional forces doesnt change, would the shoppers applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? What about the work done on the cart by the shopper?

A particle of mass 2.0 kg moves under the influence of the force F(x)=(5x2=7x)N . Suppose a frictional force also acts on the particle. If the particle’s speed when it starts at x=4.0 m is 0.0 m/s and when it arrives at x=4.0 m is 9.0 m/s, how much work is done on it by the frictional force between x=4.0 m and x=4.0 m?
An archer pulls her bowstring back 0.400 m by exerting a force that increases uniformly from zero to 230 N. (a) What is the equivalent spring constant of the bow? (b) How much work does the archer do on the string in drawing the bow?
Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side. Is your increase in gravitational potential energy the same in both cases? Is your energy consumption the same in both?
