A person is pulling a crate of mass M along the floor with a constant force F over a distance d. The coefficient of friction is .
(a) Find the work done by the force F on the crate.(b) Same if F changes as F0(1+x2/d2). (c) Find the work done by the force of friction on the crate. (d) Find the net work done on the crate if the crate is pulled with a
constant velocity. (e) Find the final velocity of the crate if the crate is pulled with a constant
acceleration starting from the rest.
M
A person carries a bag of groceries of mass M with a constant velocity at the same height from the ground. Find the work done by a person on a bag.
What if a person drops the bag to the floor from height 1 m with a constant velocity? With a constant acceleration a?
Find the work done by a person on a backpack if (a) A person ascends with a constant speed;(b) (his velocity drops from 3 m/s at the bottom to 0.5 m/s at the top
Problem 5
How many joules of energy does 100 watt light bulb use per hour? How fast would a 70-kg person have to run to have that amount of energy?
