The two ropes are used to lower a 255 kg piano 5.00 m from a second-story window to the ground. How much work is done by each of the three forces?

a. How much work must you do to push a kg block of steel across a steel table at a steady speed of m/s for s?
b. What is your power output while doing so?
The motor of a crane uses power P to lift a steel beam. By what factor must the motor’s power increase to lift the beam twice as high in half the time?
A horizontal spring with spring constant N/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. A kg box sliding across a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and compresses it cm before the spring expands and shoots the box back out. How fast was the box going when it hit the spring?
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?
