1. A student lifts a 4.

1-kg box of books vertically from rest

with an upward force of 52.7 N. The distance of the lift is
1.60 m. Find (a) the work done by the student, (b) the
work done by gravity, and (c) the final speed of the box.

2. A boy does 19 J of work as he pulls a 6.4 kg-sled through a

distance of 2.0 m. No other work is done on the sled. If the
initial speed of the sled is 0.50 m/s what is its final speed?

3. To accelerate a certain car from rest to the speed v

requires the work W. Is the work required to accelerate
the car from v to 2v equal to W, 2W, 3W, or 4 W?

4. Find the gravitational potential energy of a 65-kg

person sitting on a diving board that is 3.0 m high?

5. A candy bar called the mountain bar has a nutritional

energy content of 887,000 J. If an 81.0 kg mountain
climber eats a mountain bar and converts all of its
energy to potential energy, what altitude gain can
the climber achieve?

6. A spring with a spring constant of 120 N/m is

compressed a distance of 2.3 cm. How much
potential energy is stored in the spring?
