A. WORK

Taehyung pulls a 10-kg luggage along a level road

for 5m by extending a force of 20N at an angle 30° with the
horizontal shoulder through a vertical distance of 1.5m and
carries it for another 5m. How much work does he do in:
(a) pulling,
(b) lifting, and
(c) carrying the luggage on his shoulder?

B. POWER
a. Yoongi climbs a flight of stairs in 1.5
minutes. If he weighs 450N and the
stairs is 10m from the ground, how
much power will he develop?
 b. How much power is developed by a jumbo jet that cruises at 250m/s when the
thrust of its engine is 100 000N?

C. ENERGY
i. Potential Energy (Gravitational)

This 2 kg hammer is lifted up by 0.4m. What is its Potential Energy (PE)?

ii. Potential Energy (Elastic)

When a 4kg mass is hung vertically on a certain light spring

that obeys Hooke’s law, the spring stretches 2.5cm. If the 4kg
mass is removed:
(a) How far will the spring stretch if a 1.5kg mass is hung on
it, and
(b) How much work must an external agent do to stretch the
same spring 4cm from its unstretched position?
 iii. Kinetic Energy

What is the KE of a 1500 kg car

going at suburban speed of 12 m/s (about 50
km/h or 30 mph) ?

iv. From Potential Energy (PE) to Kinetic Energy (KE)

Jimin drop this 0.1kg apple 1m. What speed does it hit the groung with?

v. Conservation of Energy

Suppose the ball had an unexpected collision with a

nearby american flag hoisted to a height of 2m. How fast
would it be traveling at the time of collision?
