REASONING
a. The work done by the gravitational force is given by Equation 6.1 as W = (F cos θ) s. The gravitational force points downward,
opposite to the upward vertical displacement of 4.60 m. Therefore, the angle θ is 180º.
b. The work done by the escalator is done by the upward normal force that the escalator exerts on the man. Since the man is
moving at a constant velocity, he is in equilibrium, and the net force acting on him must be zero. This means that the normal force
must balance the man’s weight. Thus, the magnitude of the normal force is FN = mg, and the work that the escalator does is also
given by Equation 6.1. However, since the normal force and the upward vertical displacement point in the same direction, the angle
θ is 0º.

7.
REASONING AND SOLUTION
a. In both cases, the lift force L is perpendicular to the displacement of the plane, and, therefore, does no work. As shown in the
drawing in the text, when the plane is in the dive, there is a component of the weight W that points in the direction of the
displacement of the plane. When the plane is climbing, there is a component of the weight that points opposite to the displacement
of the plane. Thus, since the thrust T is the same for both cases, the net force in the direction of the displacement is greater for the
case where the plane is diving. Since the displacement s is the same in both cases, more net work is done during the dive .
b. The work done during the dive is
Wclimb  (T  W cos 115) s .
Wdive  (T  W cos 75) s , while the work done during the climb is
Therefore, the difference between the net work done during the dive and the climb is
Wdive – Wclimb  (T  W cos 75) s – (T  W cos 115) s  W s (cos 75 – cos 115)

REASONING The work done by the catapult Wcatapult is one contribution to the work done by the net external force that changes the
kinetic energy of the plane. The other contribution is the work done by the thrust force of the plane’s engines Wthrust. According to the
work-energy theorem (Equation 6.3), the work done by the net external force Wcatapult + Wthrust is equal to the change in the kinetic
7
energy. The change in the kinetic energy is the given kinetic energy of 4.5 × 10 J at lift-off minus the initial kinetic energy, which is
zero since the plane starts at rest. The work done by the thrust force can be determined from Equation 6.1 [W = (F cos θ) s], since
5
the magnitude F of the thrust is 2.3 × 10 N and the magnitude s of the displacement is 87 m. We note that the angle θ between the
thrust and the displacement is 0º, because they have the same direction. In summary, we will calculate Wcatapult from Wcatapult +
Wthrust = KEf  KE0.
SOLUTION According to the work-energy theorem, we have
Wcatapult + Wthrust = KEf  KE0
Using Equation 6.1 and noting that KE0 = 0 J, we can write the work energy theorem as follows:
Wcatapult   F cos  s  KE f
Work done by thrust
Solving for Wcatapult gives
Wcatapult  KE f   F cos  s

REASONING At a height h above the ground, the gravitational potential energy of each clown is given by PE  mgh (Equation
6.5). At a height hJ, Juggle’s potential energy is, therefore, PEJ = mJghJ, where mJ is Juggles’ mass. Similarly, Bangles’ potential
energy can be expressed in terms of his mass mB and height hB: PEB = mBghB. We will use the fact that these two amounts of
potential energy are equal (PEJ = PEB) to find Juggles’ mass mJ.

REASONING The work done by the weight of the basketball is given by Equation 6.1 as
W   F cos   s , where F = mg is the magnitude of the weight, is the angle between the
s
weight and the displacement, and s is the magnitude of the displacement. The drawing shows that the
weight and displacement are parallel, so that  = 0. The potential energy of the basketball is given by
Equation 6.5 as PE = mgh, where h is the height of the ball above the ground.

SOLUTION
a. The work done by the weight of the basketball is
W   F cos   s = mg (cos 0)(h0  hf) = (0.60 kg)(9.80 m/s2)(6.1 m  1.5 m) = 27 J
b. The potential energy of the ball, relative to the ground, when it is released is
2
PE0 = mgh0 = (0.60 kg)(9.80 m/s )(6.1 m) = 36 J
(6.5)
c. The potential energy of the ball, relative to the ground, when it is caught is

PEf = mghf = (0.60 kg)(9.80 m/s )(1.5 m) = 8.8 J

d.
The change in the ball’s gravitational potential energy is
PE = PEf  PE0 = 8.8 J – 36 J = 27 J
We see that the change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to –27 J =
W
, where W is the work done by the weight
of the ball (see part a).

REASONING The girl’s gravitational potential energy
the expense of her kinetic energy

PE  mgh
(Equation 6.5) increases as she rises. This increase comes at
(Equation 6.2), which decreases as she rises. Because air resistance is negligible,
all of the kinetic energy she loses is transformed into potential energy, so that her total mechanical energy
constant. We will use this principle to determine the distance she rises during this interval.

plus the change in its potential energy,

(6.6)
This relation will be used in both parts (a) and (b) of the problem.
SOLUTION
a. Since nonconservative forces are absent, the work done by them is zero, so Wnc = 0 J. In this case, we can algebraically
rearrange Equation 6.6 to show that the initial total mechanical energy (kinetic energy plus potential energy) E0 at the top is equal to
the final total mechanical energy Ef at the bottom:

Solving for the final speed vf of the skeleton and rider gives
vf  v02  2 g  h0  hf 
The initial speed of the rider is v0 = 0 m/s, and the drop in height is

Note that the difference in heights,

height h0.
