Work and Energy
1. How much work (energy) is needed to lift an object that weighs 200 N to a height of 4 m?
800J

2. How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 min 4 s?
200W

3. What is the power output of an engine that does 60,000 J of work in 10 s?

6000W, 8hp

4. The block of ice weighs 500 newtons.

a. What is the mechanical advantage of the incline?

2

b. How much force is needed to push it up the incline (neglect friction)?

250N

5. All the ramps are 5 m high. We know that the KE of the block at the bottom of the ramp will be
equal to the loss of PE (conservation of energy). Find the speed of the block at ground level in
each case. [Hint: Do you recall from earlier chapters how long it takes something to fall a vertical
distance of 5 m from a position of rest (assume g = 10 ml s2)? And how much speed a falling object
acquires in this time? This gives you the answer to Case 1. Discuss with your classmates how energy
conservation gives you the answers to Cases 2 and 3.]

Momentum and Energy
Bronco Brown wants to put Ft= Smu to
the test and try bungee jumping. Bronco
leaps from a high cliff and experiences
free fall for 3 seconds. Then the bungee
t=0s v= 0 _
cord begins to stretch, reducing his speed
momentum= 0 _ to zero in 2 seconds. Fortunately, the cord
10m/s
t=ls V=----- stretches to its maximum length just short
momentum = 1000kgm/s
_ of the ground below.
Fill in the blanks. Bronco's mass is 100 kg.
Acceleration of free fall is 10 m/s2.
20m/s Express values in SI units (distance in m,
t=2S V=----- velocity in m/ s, momentum in kg·m/ s,
