A working student works at a pub during weekends. The assigned task to him is to fill drinks for customers. He fills the pitcher full of Iced Tea, places it on the counter top and gives the 2.4kg pitcher a 8.2N forward push over a distance of 50cm to send it to a customer at the end of the counter. The coefficient of friction between the pitcher and the counter top is 0.15. a. What is the work done upon the pitcher by both the working student and the friction? b. Determine the kinetic energy of the pitcher after the working student pushed it. C. Find the speed of the pitcher after the force was applied.

(a) How much gravitational potential energy (relative to the ground on which it is built) is stored in the Great Pyramid of Cheops, given that its mass is about 7109 kg and its center of mass is 36.5 m above the surrounding ground? (b) How does this energy compare with the daily food intake of a person?
Review. The mass of a car is 1 500 kg. The shape of the cars body is such that its aerodynamic drag coefficient is D = 0.330 and its frontal area is 2.50 m2. Assuming the drag force is proportional to 2 and ignoring other sources of friction, calculate the power required to maintain a speed of 100 km/h as the car climbs a long hill sloping at 3.20.
In most situations we have encountered in this chapter, frictional forces tend to reduce the kinetic energy of an object. However, frictional forces can sometimes increase an objects kinetic energy. Describe a few situations in which friction causes an increase in kinetic energy.
To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.00-kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm through an angle of 60.0°. (a) What is the angular acceleration if the weight is 24.0 cm from the elbow joint, her forearm has a moment of inertia of 0.250kg-m2 and the net force she exerts is 750 N at an effective perpendicular lever arm of 2.00 cm? (b) How much work does she do?
An M1 Garand rifle has a 0.610 m long barrel. When fired, a bullet with a mass of 11.0 g accelerates from rest and exits the barrel at a speed of 850 m/s. What is the net force on the bullet (in N) while it is in the barrel?
I am not sure how to work on this problem, the answers are Na=29.8N, Nb=8.12N. They gave a hint which says to find the acceleration of the system first.
An athlete with a mass of 50.0 kg is doing pushups as shown in the figure below. The value for rW⊥ is 0.95 m and the value for rR⊥ is 1.56 m.

A 12 ft ladder that weighs 50lb rests against a frictionless wall at a point 10ft above the ground. How much force does the ladder exert (a) on the ground and (b) on the wall?
Package 1, with inertia 2kg, is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0-m high, frictionless ramp to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, Package 2, with inertia 4kg, at the bottom of the ramp. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision? Note: this is a two-stage scenario. Make sure you have a relevant diagram for each stage. Use equations provided on equation sheet only.

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to frictionless. The center of ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.
