Wile E Coyote (below) has a mass of 12.5 kg and is on a hill with a height of 55 m above a valley. He wants to reach Road Runner, who is on a hill with a height of 100 m on the other side of the valley, by using an ACME rocket attached to some wheels. Assume that friction is negligible. a) What is the potential energy of Wile E Coyote when he is on the 55-m ill and what would be his potential energy if he reaches the 100-m hill? b) What is the minimum initial speed (provided by the rocket) that would allow Wile E Coyote to reach the other side? c) If the initial speed of Wile E Coyote is 25 m/s, what is his speed at the bottom of the valley? 100m 55m

As a young man, Tarzan climbed up a vine to reach his tree house. As he got older, he decided to build and use a staircase instead. Since the work of the gravitational force mg is path Independent, what did the King of the Apes gain in using stairs?
A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point; that is Fr3 , if the distance from P to the position of the particle is r. Let b be the proportionality constant, and write the magnitude of the force as F=br3. Find the potential energy of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance D from P, assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.
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 sled of mass 70 kg starts from rest and slides down a 10 incline 80 m long. It then travels for 20 m horizontally before starting back up an 8° incline. It travels 80 m along this incline before coming to rest. What is the magnitude of the net work done on the sled by friction?
The surface of the preceding problem is modified so that the coefficient of kinetic friction is decreased. The same horizontal force is applied to the crate, and after being pushed 8.0 m, its speed is 5.0 m/s. How much work is now done by the force of friction? Assume that the crate starts at rest.
Shown below is a box of mass m1 that sits on a frictionless incline at an angle above the horizontal =30.
