Work and Energy Review

1. A soccer ball with mass 0.420 kg is initially moving with speed 2.0 m/s. A soccer player kicks the
ball, exerting a constant force of magnitude 40.0 N in the same direction as the ball’s motion.
Over what distance must the player’s foot be in contact with the ball to increase the ball’s speed
6.0 m/s?

2. An 8.00-kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a chute that is inclined at 53.0°
below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the chute’s
surface is 0.40. Calculate the work done on the package by (a) friction, (b) gravity, and (c) the
normal force. (d) What is the net work done on the package?

3. A force F = (4.0)i + cj acts on a particle as the particle goes through displacement d = (3.0)i – (2.0)j.
What is c if the work done on the particle by force is (a) 0, (b) 17 J, and (c) -18 J?

4. To stretch a spring 3.00 cm from its unstretched length, 12.0 J of work must be done. (a) What is
the force constant of this spring? (b) What magnitude force is needed to stretch the spring 3.00
cm from its unstretched length? (c) How much work must be done to compress this spring 4.00
cm from its unstretched length, and what force is needed to compress it this distance?

5. A crate on a motorized cart starts from rest and moves with a constant eastward acceleration of
a = 2.80 m/s2 . A worker assists the cart by pushing on the crate with a force that is eastward and
has magnitude that depends on time according to F(t) = (5.40 N/s)t. What is the instantaneous
power supplied by this force at t = 5.00s ?
