Stay the same

2. If Zippy pushes a stationary brick wall ten times harder than he did yesterday, what happens to the work done? (Increase, Decrease or Stay the same.)

They are the same.

3. An 8.0 kg mass is moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s. A 2.0 kg mass is moving with speed 4.0 m/s. Both objects encounter the same constant braking force and are brought to rest. How do their stopping distances compare?

ΔKE = W ΔKE = W

½ 8(2)2 = Fd ½ 2(4)2 = Fd

16/F = d 16/F = d

653 W

5. At what rate is a 50 kg boy using energy when he runs up a flight of stairs 8 m high in 6 seconds?

P = W/t P = mgh/t P = ∆E/t P = 50(9.8)(8)/6

125 JW = ΔKE = ½ mv2 = ½ (10)(52)

10. A car moves twice as fast as a truck and has half the mass of the truck. What is the ratio of the car’s kinetic energy to the truck’s kinetic energy?

They rise to the same height.

11. A lightweight object and a very heavy object are sliding with equal speeds along a level frictionless surface. They both slide up the same frictionless hill. Which rises to a greater height?

3.96 m/s
