/ 5. Just before striking the ground, a 900 kg Smart Bomb has 88.2 MJ of kinetic energy.

If air resistance is ignored, determine the height from which the Smart Bomb was dropped. Determine the drop height if air resistance performs 8.82 MJ of work against the bomb as it falls towards its target. 6. A 74 kg student, starting from rest, slides down an 11.8 meter high water slide. On the way down, friction does 5600 J of work on him. How fast is he going at the bottom of the slide? 7. Block A with a mass of 12 kg moving at 2.4 m/s makes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with block B, mass 36 kg, at rest. Find the velocities of the two blocks after the collision. Assume all motion is in one dimension. 8. Calculate the potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, velocity, and height of the ball at the various locations.

1. Jamie lifts her toys into her tree house using a homemade elevator. The elevator has a mass of 2.5 kg and the tree house is 8 meters above the ground. How much work does Jamie do when lifting 5 kg of toys into the house? Determine the power used to lift the toys in 5 sec. 2. Mike pulls a sled across level snow with a force of 225 N using a rope that is angled at 35. Determine the work done if he pulls the sled 65.3 meters.

3. A 2 kg textbook is lifted from the floor to a shelf 2.1 meters above the floor. Determine the books potential energy relative to the floor. What is the books potential energy relative to the head of a 1.65 meter tall person? 4. A shot-putter heaves a 7.26 kg shot with a velocity of 7.5 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the shot. How much work was done on the shot to give it its kinetic energy? 5. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 750 kg compact car moving at 100 km/hr. How much work must be done to slow the car down to 50 km/hr? 6. Determine the mechanical energy of a 450 kg roller coaster moving at 30 m/s at the bottom of the first dip which is 15 meters above the ground. 7. Julie has a mass of 49 kg. What is her potential energy when standing on the 6 meter diving board? (She is 6 meters above the water.) Julie jumps off the diving board. What is her kinetic energy right before she hits the water? How fast does Julie hit the water? 8. An unfortunate skydivers parachute fails to open. If the diver hits the ground going 300 m/s, determine the height from which the ill-fated jump was make. 9. Calculate the potential, kinetic, and mechanical energies, velocity, work, and power of the ball at the various locations.

In the perfect physics world, a person can jump from a diving board and hit the water with the same amount of energy as they had before they jumped. Energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy until they hit the water. In the real world, air resistance would also be a factor, but it is usually ignored to simplify the problem. When the diver hits the water, kinetic energy is transferred into heat and sound energies. However, the total energy of the diver never changes. The energy of the system is transferred from potential to kinetic to heat.
