An initially stationary 2.0kgobject accelerates horizontally and uniformly to a speed of10 m/sin3.0 s. (a) In that 3.0 sinterval, how much work is done on the object by the force accelerating it? What is the instantaneous power due to that force (b) at the end of the interval and (c) at the end of the first half of the interval?
A can of bolts and nuts is pushed 2.00 m along an x axis by a broom along the greasy (frictionless) floor of a car repair shop in a version of shuffleboard. Figure 7-26 gives the work Wdone on the can by the constant horizontal force from the broom, versus the can’s position x. The scale of the figure’s vertical axis is set by WS=6 J. (a) What is the magnitude of that force? (b) If the can had an initial kinetic energy of 3.00 J, moving in the positive direction of the x axis, what is its kinetic energy at the end of the 2.00 m?

A bead with mass is moving along a wire in the positive direction of an x axis. Beginning at time t=0, when the bead passes through x=0 with speed 12 m/s, a constant force acts on the bead. Figure 7-24 indicates the bead’s position at these four times: t0=0, t1=1.0 s, t2=2.0 s, and t3=3.0 s. The bead momentarily stops at t=3.0 s. What is the kinetic energy of the bead at t=10 s ?

A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has half the mass of the father. The father speeds up by and then has the same kinetic energy as the son. What are the original speeds of (a) the father and (b) the son?
A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M at a constant downward acceleration of .When the block has fallen a distance d , find
(a) the work done by the cord’s force on the block,
(b) the work done by the gravitational force on the block,
(c) the kinetic energy of the block, and
(d) the speed of the block.
