Assignment II

1. A force 9 N in excess of that required to overcome friction is applied to a machine part of

18 kg mass when it is moving at a velocity of 0.36ms-1. Find (i) the acceleration
produced, (ii) the velocity after 3 seconds, (iii) the distance travelled during this time.

2. A 45 kg skater travelling at 5ms-1 overtakes a 65 kg skater travelling at 3ms-1 in the same

direction and collides with him. (i) If the two skaters remain in contact, what is their final
velocity? (ii) How much kinetic energy is lost?

3. Find the joules of work to pull a roller of mass 50 kg a distance of 8m up a gradient

inclined at 6 to the horizontal neglecting frictional resistances.

4. 18 m of chain, of mass 22.3 kgm-1 length, hangs freely from a crane winding drum. Find
the work done in winding the chain up until only 6m hangs down.
