Vivan and Christy were having a tug of war with their gym teacher. The distance to pull was 3 m. They pulled as hard as they could, but they could not move him. Assuming the teachers mass was 90 kg and Vivan and Christy pull with a force of 800 N, how much work did they do? Show your calculations…
Smiley Joe’s Garage uses a block and tackle style pulley to help lift engines out of customers’ cars for repairs. One customers engine has a mass of 221 kg. To lift the engine out entirely, Smiley Joe has to raise it 1.5 m. How much work will he do?NOTE: 1kg = 10 N
To assist with a class demonstration, a student, (whose mass is 60 kg) filled a water balloon with 2 kg of water. He then climbed to the second floor of the school ( 2.5 m above the ground) and held the balloon out of a window. How much work did the student do?
With the class watching from a safe (and dry) distance below, suppose the student drops the balloon and the balloon hits the sidewalk with a force of 20 N. How much work was done on the sidewalk by the balloon?
