Chapter 13.1, Problem 13.2P
A 1-Ib stone is dropped down the “bottomless pit” at Carlsbad Caverns and strikes the ground with a speed of 95 ft/s. Neglecting air resistance, (a) determine the kinetic energy of the stone as it strikes the ground and the height h from which it was dropped. (b) Solve part a assuming that the same stone is dropped down a hole on the moon. (Acceleration of gravity on the moon

Five identical boxes with the same speeds slide along a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass of each box is 10 kg. The same magnitude force, F, is applied to each box, but along different directions. Rank the five situations described here from greatest to smallest according to the work done on the box by the force while the box moves through the distance d indicated in each description. For this analysis, take motion/distance/force directed to the right as positive and force directed up as positive. If any of the situations result in the same work being done, give them the same ranking. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)

You push a box of mass 20.6 kg with your car up to an icy hill slope of irregular shape to a height 4.3 m. The box has a speed 12.3 m/s when it starts up the hill, the same time that you brake. It then rises up to the top (with
no friction) to a flat area before sliding into a box larger box of mass 19 kg. The boxes then fall off a sheer cliff together to the ground (with no drag).

The ramp is 6 meters long. A constant frictional force of 200 N acts throughout the motion and a force F is being applied by a rope as shown to prevent the block from sliding too fast. Suppose that while traveling at v=0.1 m/s down the ramp, at d=4meters from the end of the ramp, the rope breaks, Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to calculate the speed, in m/s, of the crate when it touches the bottom of the ramp.arrow_forward
