Work p. 160-163 (W = Flld or W = Fdcosθ, where θ is the angle between F and d)
1. A toddler pushes a cart across a floor with a force of 32 N parallel to the floor for a distance of 1.5 m. If the baby
pushes the cart at a constant velocity, how much work was done by: a) the baby b) friction c) total?
2. A person slides a 102 kg crate 15.0 m across a level floor at a constant speed. The coefficient of kinetic friction is
0.20. How much work was done by a) the person b) friction c) total?
3. It takes 350 J to move a box 10 m along a flat surface. What force parallel to the motion was applied?
4. A sled is pulled over level snow for a distance of 0.500 km by a force of 124 N applied to a rope that makes an
angle of 35.0° with the surface. How much work has been done by this force?
5. A person pulls a loaded sled by a rope that makes an angle 45° with the horizontal. The loaded sled is 60.0 kg
and the sled is pulled a distance of 1.00 km. If the tension in the rope is 16.3 N and force due to kinetic friction is
11.5 N, then how much work was done by each force? (Consider all four forces)
6. A person lifts a 2.5 kg package to a height of 2.2 m. How much work was done by: a) the person? b) gravity? c)
What is the total work?
7. A person lowers a 2.5 kg package from a height of 2.2 m. How much work was done by: a) the person? b)
gravity? c) What is the total work?
8. The third floor of a building is 10 m above the ground floor and the tenth floor is 35 m above the ground floor. If
3.2 x 105 J of work is necessary to lift the elevator from the 3rd to 10th floor, what is the mass of the elevator?
9. A loaded trunk has a mass of 35 kg. The coefficient of friction between the trunk and the floor is 0.20. How much
work is done on the trunk by a person who slides the trunk 8.0 m across a level floor then lifts it into a truck 1.3
m above the level of the floor?
