Work and energy

1) If we push the wall of a building, are we doing work? Explain

2) The work of f upon an object may be positive. True or False. If true, give an example.
3) A student carries a backpack to college. What is the work done by its carrying vertical force?
Explain
4) If a person does 50J when moving a 30kg box through a horizontal distance of 10m. What is
the minimum force required?
5) A passenger in an airport pulls the handle of a bag. If the force applied is 10N and the
handle makes a 25 degrees angle with respect to the horizontal. What is the work done by the
traibon force if the passenger walks 200m?
6) A 3.0kg block slides down a frictionless inclined plane (20 degrees). If the length of the
plane is 1.5m. What is the work done and which force exerts that work?
7) An aerostatic balloon ascends at a constant rate. The weight of the balloon exerts a (a)
positive work. (b) negative work. (c) no work. Why?
8) A 500kg aerostatic balloon ascends at 150m/s (constant) during 20s. Find the work of the
floating force.(upward)
9) A father pulls his daughter who sits on a sled at a constant speed, through a horizontal
distance of 10m. If the total mass of the sled and snow is 0.20. What is the work done by the
father?
10) A 500kg helicopter ascends from the ground at 2.0m/s square. After 5s (a) What is the
work of the elevation force? (b) What is the work of the gravitational force? (c) What is the net
work on the helicopter?
