A ball rolls off a -high cliff, and lands from the base of the cliff. Express the displacement and the gravitational force in terms of vectors and calculate the work done by the gravitational force. Note that the gravitational force is , where g is a positive number.
You push a crate3 m across the floor with aforce whose direction is below the horizontal. How much work do you do?
A ball of massfalls downward, as shown in Figure 6.82. Initially you observe it to beabove the ground. After a short time it is just about to hit the ground.
(a) During this interval how much work was done on the ball by the gravitational force? (b) Does the kinetic energy of the ball increase or decrease?
(c) The ball hits the ground and bounces back upward, as shown in Figure 6.83. After a short time it isabove the ground again. During this second interval (between leaving the ground and reaching a height of) how much work was done on the ball by the gravitational force? (d) Does the kinetic energy of the ball increase or decrease?
In the given figure what kind of motion is represented by the situation with K + U = A? B? C?Think about the range of rin each situation, For example, Crepresents a circular orbit (constant r).

A paper airplane flies from positionto. The net force acting on it during this flight, due to the Earth and the air, is nearly constant at.What is the total work done on paper airplane by the Earth and the air?
