A pitcher accelerates a 150 g baseball from rest to 35 m/s. How much work does the pitcher do on the ball?

An 8.0 kg crate is pulled 5.0 m up a 30° incline by a rope angled 18 ° above the incline. The tension in the rope is 120 N, and the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is 0.25. (b) What is the increase in thermal energy of the crate and incline?

A 2.0 kg particle moving along the x-axis experiences the force shown in FIGURE EX9.22. The particle's velocity is 3.0 m/s at x = 0m . At what point on the x-axis does the particle have a turning point?

A red ball has a mass of 250 g. A constant force pushes the red ball horizontally and launches it at a speed of 15 m/s . The same force pushes a green ball through the same distance, launching it at 25 m/s. What is the mass of the green ball?

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 N/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. A 1.5 kg box sliding across a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and compresses it 6.5 cm before the spring expands and shoots the box back out. How fast was the box going when it hit the spring?

A ball shot straight up with kinetic energy K₀ reaches height h. What height will it reach if the initial kinetic energy is doubled?

A 55 kg softball player slides into second base, generating 950 J of thermal energy in her legs and the ground. How fast was she running?

A baggage handler throws a 15 kg suitcase along the floor of an airplane luggage compartment with a speed of 1.2 m/s. The suitcase slides 2.0 m before stopping. Use work and energy to find the suitcase's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor.
