Bicyclists in the Tour de France do enormous amounts of work during a race. For example, the average power per kilogram generated by Lance Armstrong (m = 75.0 kg) is 6.50 W per kilogram of his body mass. (a) How much work does he do during a 155-km race in which his average speed is 12.3 m/s...
A 47.7-g golf ball is driven from the tee with an initial speed of 55.4 m/s and rises to a height of 31.2 m. (a) Neglect air resistance and determine the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point. (b) What is its speed when it is 8.47 m below its highest point?
A 109-kg crate is being pushed across a horizontal floor by a force P that makes an angle of 38.3 ° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.260. What should be the magnitude of P, so that the net work done by it and the kinetic frictional force is zero?
