1. The force shown in the Fig. has magnitude Fp=20N and
makes an angle of 300 to the ground .Calculate the work
done by this force when the wagon is dragged 100m along
the ground.
Solution:
We choose the x axis horizontal
to the right and the y axis
vertical upward. Then
Fp Fx i Fy j Fp cos 300 i Fp sin 300 j 17i 10 j
Whereas d=100m. Then using Eq W F d
W F d 17i 10 j 100i 17 100 1700 J
2. A 5.0kg block moves in a straight line on a horizontal
frictionless surface. Under the influence of a force that
varies with position as shown in Fig. 7-31 How much work
is done by the force as the block moves from the origin to
x=8.0m?
Solution: A block moves in a straight line, so
Eq7-36 can be simplified as
xf
W Fx dx
xi
Key idea: the work done the system by
the force component Fx as the system
moves from xi to xf is the area under the
curve between xi and xf .
The work done is the area under the graph between x=0m
to x=8.0m is

3. A block of mass 0.5 kg moves horizontally along a
frictionless rod attached to a cord of negligible mass. A
force T of constant magnitude 50N acts on one end of the
cord across a frictionless hoop. The block is moving
toward the right side at point A. What is the velocity of the
block when it is drawn to point B by force T?
Solution:
The work done by N、mg is zero.

4. (P157.44)Two identical coins are initially held at height h=11.0
m. Coin 1 is dropped at time t=0 and then lands on a muddy field
where it sticks. Coin 2 is dropped at t=0.500 s and then lands on
the field. What is the acceleration of the center of mass (com) of
the two-coin system (a) between t=0 and t=0.500 s, (b) between
t=0.500 s and time t1 when coin hits and sticks, and (c) between t1
and time t2 when coin 2 hits and sticks? What is the speed of the
center of mass when t is (d) 0.250 s, (e) 0.750 s, (f) 1.75s?

5. (P154 21) In Fig.5-45, block 1 (mass 2.0 kg) is moving rightward
at 10 m/s and block 2 (mass 5.0 kg) is moving rightward at 3.0 m/s.
The surface is frictionless, and a spring with a spring constant of
1120 N/m is fixed to block 2. When the blocks collide, the
compression of the spring is maximum at the instant the blocks
have the same velocity. Find the maximum compression.
Solution:
The linear momentum of the two blocks and the spring system is
conserved, and the mass of the spring is negligible. Choose
rightward as positive direction and suppose when the compression
of the spring is maximum, the velocity of the blocks is v, we have
2.0kg10m / s 5.0kg3.0m / s 2.0kg 5.0kgv
yields v 5m / s
Because of the compression of the spring, the total kinetic energy
of the system decreased, gives us

Substituting k=1120N/m into the above equation yields the
maximum compression of the spring:
