Problem 5A

Work

Fill each blank below with the word or phrase that completes the statement.

1. The total work done on an object is the _________of the work done

by the individual forces.

2. Positive work is done when_____________

.

3. The work done by a force parallel to the displacement is determined by

multiplying the _______of the force by the_____________ .

4. The difference between positive and negative work is _____________

.

5. Positive and work both occur parallel to the _____________.

6. No work is done when the _____________is perpendicular to the_____________ .

7. What is the equation for determining the amount of work done on an

object when the force is applied at an angle? _____________

**12. A wagon is pulled 45 m along a level road at constant velocity. Find the

amount of work done on the wagon by a force of 85 N that is applied to

the handle and that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal.

13. A piano is lifted 3.0 m vertically. Determine the work done on the piano

if its mass is 750 kg.

**14. Determine the work done on a sled that is pulled 20.0 m by a 105 N

force applied at an angle of 50° to the horizontal.

15. A 34.5 kg box with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s slides to a stop along a

level road. If the displacement of the box is 17.5 m, determine the force

of friction on the box and the work done to stop it.

WORK

The largest palace in the world is the Imperial Palace in Beijing, China.

The palace covers a rectangle 750 m long by 960 m wide. If you were to

push a lawn mower around the perimeter of such an area, applying a constant

horizontal force of 60.0 N,what amount of work would you do?

1. With an overall height of 195 m, Lake Point Tower in Chicago is the

tallest apartment building in the United States (although not the tallest

building in which there are apartments). Suppose you live on the top

floor of the building and your mass is 60.0 kg. How much work is done

on you by the force of gravity as you ride the elevator from the top

floor to the ground floor?

2. In 1985 in San Antonio, Texas, an entire hotel building was moved several

blocks on 36 dollies. The mass of the building was about

1.45 *10⁶ kg. Suppose the amount of work done on the building was

100 Mega J and the resistive force that had to be overcome was just

2.00 percent of the building’s weight. How far was the building moved?

3. A hummingbird has a mass of about 1.7 g. If the hummingbird ascends

straight up with a net acceleration of 1.2 m/s², how much work

does it do over a distance of 8.0 m?
