A g bug is hovering in the air. A gust of wind exerts a force role="math" localid="1648061852575" N on the bug.
a. How much work is done by the wind as the bug undergoes displacement m?
b. What is the bug’s speed at the end of this displacement? Assume that the speed is due entirely to the wind.
A elevator accelerates upward at for , starting from rest.
