A 2.0 kglunchbox is sent sliding over a frictionless surface, in the positive direction of an xaxis along the surface. Beginning at time t=0, a steady wind pushes on the lunchbox in the negative direction of the xaxis. Figure 7-51shows the position xof the lunchbox as a function of time tas the wind pushes on the lunchbox. From the graph, estimate the kinetic energy of the lunchbox at (a) t=1.0 sand (b)t=5.0 s. (c) How much work does the force from the wind do on the lunchbox fromt=1.0 s to t=5.0 s?
A 5.0 kg block moves in a straight line on a horizontal frictionless surface under the influence of a force that varies with position as shown in Fig.7-39. The scale of the figure鈥檚 vertical axis is set by. How much work is done by the force as the block moves from the origin to ?
As a particle moves along an x axis, a force in the positive direction of the axis acts on it. Figure 7-50shows the magnitude Fof the force versus position x of the particle. The curve is given by , with . Find the work done on the particle by the force as the particle moves fromto by (a) estimating the work from the graph and (b) integrating the force function.
The graphs in give the x-component of force acting on a particle moving along an x-axis. Rank them according to the work done by the force on the particle from to , from most positive work first to most negative work last.
In Fig. , a horizontal force of magnitude is applied to a psychology book as the book slides a distanceup a frictionless ramp at angle . (a) During the displacement, what is the net work done on the book by , the gravitational force on the book, and the normal force on the book? (b) If the book has zero kinetic energy at the start of the displacement, what is its speed at the end of the displacement?
