    How Does the Kinetic Energy Theorem Apply to Bonny Blair's Skating Problem?

    Bonny Blair skated 5.00 x 10^2 m with an average speed of 12.92 m/s. Suppose she corssed the finish line at this speed and then skated freely until her speed was 8.00 m/s. If her was mwas 55.0 kg, how much work was done by friction? Can anybody explain the kinetic energy theorem or help me...

    Help w/ conservation of mech. energy

    The deepest mine ever drilled has a depth of 12.3km. Suppose you drop a rock w/ a mass of 120.g down the shaft of this mine. What would the rock's kinetic energy be after falling 3.2km? What would the potential energy associated w/ the rock be at that same moment? Assume no air resistance & a...

    Help w/ conservation of mech. energy

    The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kh. SUppose this watermelon is exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the ground. After the exhibition, the watermelon is allowed to slide to the ground along a smooth ramp. How high above the ground is the watermelon at the moment its kinetic...
