Additional Integrated Problems
The unit of horsepower was defined by considering the power output of a typical horse. Working-horse guidelines in the 1900s called for them to pull with a force equal to 10% of their body weight at a speed of 3.0 mph. For a typical working horse of 1200 lb, what power docs this represent in W and in hp?

Choose 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. Walking with the backpack on the back
