The driver of a car traveling at 60 mph slams on the brakes, and the car skids to a halt. What happened to the kinetic energy the car had just before stopping?
You need to raise a heavy block by pulling it with a massless rope. You can either (a) pull the block straight up height h, or (b) pull it up a long, frictionless plane inclined at a 15 o angle until its height has increased by h. Assume you will move the block at constant speed either way. Will you do more work in case a or case b? Or is the work the same in both cases? Explain.
If a particle鈥檚 speed increases by a factor of 3, by what factor does its kinetic energy change?
A g particle at is moving at m/s in the direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by . What is the particle鈥檚 speed when it reaches m?
