A spring with a spring constant of has a cage attached to its free end. (a) How much work does the spring force do on the cage when the spring is stretched from its relaxed length by? (b) How much additional work is done by the spring force when the spring is stretched by an additional ?
Figure 7-40 gives the acceleration of a 2.00 kg particle as an applied force moves it from rest along an x axis from. The scale of the figure’s vertical axis is set by. How much work has the force done on the particle when the particle reaches (a) x=4.0 m, (b) x=7.0 m, and (c) x=9.0 m? What is the particle’s speed and direction of travel when it reaches (d) x=4.0 m, (e) x=7.0 m, and (f) x=9.0 m ?

In Fig. 7-20 , a greased pig has a choice of three frictionless slides along which to slide to the ground. Rank the slides according to how much work the gravitational force does on the pig during the descent, greatest first

(a) In 1975 the roof of Montreal’s Velodrome, with a weight of 360 kN, was lifted by 10 cm so that it could be centered. How much work was done on the roof by the forces making the lift? (b) In 1960 a Tampa, Florida, mother reportedly raised one end of a car that had fallen onto her son when a jack failed. If her panic lift effectively raised 4000 N (about of the car’s weight) by 5.0 cm, how much work did her force do on the car?
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?
