A box is dropped
. How much work was done on the box?
A 1500kg rocket has a net propulsion force of 500N. Over a short period of time, the rocket speeds up uniformly from an initial velocity of to a final velocity of
. Assume that the mass of the rocket remains constant even though it is burning fuel and that the net force is along the direction of travel. What is the net work done on the rocket in kJ?
A crate is pushed
across the floor. If
of force was used to achieve this motion, how much work was done?
A book falls off the top of a
bookshelf. How much work is required to put the book back on the top of the bookshelf, assuming it is lifted with a constant velocity?
A book falls off the top of a
bookshelf. How much work is required to put the book back on the top of the bookshelf, assuming it is lifted with a constant velocity?
A book falls off the top of a
bookshelf. How much work is required to lift the book back to its original position, assuming the lifting is done with a constant velocity?
