Ch 09: Work and Kinetic Energy
Chapter 9, Problem 9
Susan's 10 kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30° above the floor. The tension is a constant 30 N and the coefficient of friction is 0.20. Use work and energy to find Paul's speed after being pulled 3.0 m.

Textbook Question
When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of the air. Model a cyclist as having cross-section area 0.45 m² and, because the human body is not aerodynamically shaped, a drag coefficient of 0.90 . Use 1.2 kg/m³ as the density of air at room temperature. (c) The food calorie is equivalent to 4190 J. How many calories does the cyclist burn if he rides over level ground at 7.3 m/s for 1 h?

Textbook Question
A 25 kg air compressor is dragged up a rough incline from r₁ (→ above r)= (1.3î + 1.3ĵ) m to r₂ (→ above r) = (8.3î + 2.9ĵ) m, to where the y-axis is vertical. How much work does gravity do on the compressor during this displacement?
