Chapter 17.1, Problem 5dTH
Suppose the block in the previous problem were launched with the same initial speed on the following frictionless ramps. In each case stale whether the magnitude of the net work done on the block from the bottom to the top of the ramp is greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the net Work done on the block in problem 2. Explain your answer in each case.
d. The ramp is curved.
Use the work-energy theorem to rank the final speeds of the block on the ramps (a−d), assuming the block is launched with the same initial speed in each case. If the final speeds are the same in any of the cases, stale that explicitly. Explain.

- A couple of soccer balls of equal mass are kiched off the ground at the same speed but at different angles. Soccer ball A is kicked off at an angle slightly above the horizontak, whereas boll B is kicked slightly below the vertical. How do each of the following compare for ball Aand ball B? (a) The initial kinetic energy and (b) the change in gravitational potential energy from the ground to the highest point? If the energy in part (a) differs from part (b), explain why there is a differenne between the two energies.arrow_forwardChoose the correct answer: 1. We can distinguish three simple cases of action of a force and the work it does on a system: A. When the force acts in the same direction and sense as the displacement, the work it does is positive (W> 0) B. When the force acts in the same direction, but in the opposite direction to the displacement, the work that performs has a negative value (W <0) C. When the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the displacement, it does no work (W = 0) 2. An example of negative work is: A. Stop a ball. B. Push a car C.
