A machine delivers poswer at a decreasing rate \(P=P_{0} t_{0}^{2} d\left(t+t_{0}\right)^{2}\), CH where \(P_{0}\) and \(t_{0}\) are constants. The machine starts at \(t=0\) and runs forever. Show that it nevertheless does only a finite amount of work, equal to \(P_{0} t_{0}\)
if the coefficient of kinetic friction is \(0.22\), how much work do you do when you slide a \(55-\mathrm{kg}\) box at constant speed across a 4.8-m-wide room?
A force pointing in the \(x\)-direction is given by \(F-F_{0}\left(x / x_{0}\right)^{2}\), where \(F_{0}\) and \(x_{0}\) are constants and \(x\) is position. Find an expression for the work done by this force as it acts on an object moving from \(x=0\) to \(x=x_{0}\) -
Two unknown elementary particles pass through a detection chamber. If they have the same kinetic energy and their mass ratio is \(9: 1\), what's the ratio of their speeds?
Does the gravitational force of the Sun do work on a planet in a circular orbit? On a comet in an elliptical orbit? Explain.
