What is the mass of an object that falls freely under the influence of gravity from an elevation of 100 m above the earth's surface? The downward velocity is 100 m/s and strikes the earth at 109.4m/s. Take g = 9.81 m/s2.
Ans. m=40kg
The acceleration of high-speed aircraft is sometimes expressed in g’s (in multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity). Determine the upward force, in N, that a 90-kg man would experience in an aircraft whose acceleration is 6 g’s.

- To apply the principle of work and energy to a system of particles. The principle of work and energy can be extended from one particle to include a system of particles as follows: ∑T1+∑U1−2=∑T2 where ∑T1 is the system's initial kinetic energy, ∑U1−2 is the sum of the work done by all external and internal forces acting on the system's particles, and ∑T2 is the system's final kinetic energy. When the particles either are undergoing only translational motion or are connected by inextensible cables, the internal forces of the particles negate each other; only the external forces are required in the principle of work and energy. When frictional forces are present, the work done by the frictional force is UF=μkNs, where μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction, N is the normal force, and s is the body's displacement.
