1) A 40.0 kg box, initially at rest, is pulled through 12.0 m along a horizontal surface. A 75.0 N pulling force is applied at 25.0° from the horizontal. If the frictional force is 14.2 N:


a. How much work was done by the applied force on the box?


b. How much work was done by the frictional force?


c. What is the net work?


d. What is the final speed of the box?

A traditional, double-seat chairlift can move1200 people in 1.00 hrs (with an average mass of 60.0 kg) up a ski hill. A high-speed quad chair can move 2400 people in 30.0 minutes up the hill. The upper terminal (top of the hill) is 100 m higher than the lower terminal (bottom of the hill).

4) The amount of power the double-seat chair requires just to overcome gravity is ___x10W. 





5) An electric motor has a power rating of 1.60 kW and operates at 75% efficiency. The amount of work that it can do in 1.0 hrs is ___x10J.





True or False. When non-conservative forces are present, the amount of work done increases with the length of the path.
