Describe how you know that work was done in this GIF.

6


What is the 'theta angle' AND how do you know?

8
The amount of force __________ (to a point) while pulling the car up the hill at an increasing angle. The work that was done __________ .
6

Match the 'Example' to the appropriate classifciation:

  • there was no force to cause the dispalcement
  • there was zero displacement
  • the item sits on the shelf with 40J of Potential Energy
  • force directly caused the displacement
  • vertical displacement was 4m, the horizontal force was 20N
  • Work Was Done
  • No Work Was Done
4

Calculate the work done by a 40-N force (directed at a 20° angle to the vertical) to move a 5-kilogram box a horizontal distance of 500 cm across a rough floor at a constant speed of 0.7 m/s. (Make sure you show your work for partial credit!)

4
There is a ball that is 55m above the zero line that has a mass of 55kg. The ball current PEgrav = _______
2
If you double the amount of displacement of a spring relative to its equilibrium position, then you __________ the PEspring.
4
When you quadruple the speed of an object, you __________ its KE by a factor of __________.
When you reduce the speed of an object by a factor of 3, you __________ its KE by a factor of __________.

Determine the kinetic energy of a 70-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 11.1 m/s.

4

Olver Weightver, the former platform diver for Harrison, had a kinetic energy of 11,000 J just prior to hitting the Pool. If Olver's mass is 100 kg, then what is his speed?

6

Give one example of mechanical energy, and then justify why your example definitely has mechanical energy.

6

Describe a way that the skier could increase their height to be above 100m at the next hill?

4

Classify this example.

4

A 120-kg car traveling with a speed of 29 m/s skids to a stop. The car experiences a 9000 N force of friction. Determine the stopping distance of the car.
