16.  Jorge pushes Manuel in a bobsled a distance of 13 m starting from rest. If the total mass of the bobsled (with Manuel) is 125 kg, and it reaches a speed of 5.5 m/s, what is the net force of the bobsled?

17.  Sam’s truck experiences a forward force of 240 N provided by the traction between the wheels and the road. How far must Sam’s truck travel to reach a speed of 3m/s from rest?

18.  The formula for gravitational potential energy is:  U = mgh ▪ (the abbreviation for potential energy is U) ▪ m = mass ▪ g = acceleration due to gravity ▪ h = height

19.  Ryan raises a 1kg bag of sugar 2m above the ground. What is its gravitational potential energy associated with the bag of sugar relative to the surface of the earth?

20.  What is the height of a 35 gram object with a potential energy of 41.2 Joules?

21.  Calculate the change in potential energy of a 15 kg object that moves 20 m down an inclined plane of 25 o. 50m

23.  The mechanical energy of an object is defined as the kinetic energy + the potential energy  ME = KE + U  Moreover, the mechanical energy of a system is conserved (if there is no frictional or retarding forces involved)  ME i = ME f  In other words, energy is neither created nor destroyed!

24. So – if…. ME = KE + U And… ME i = ME f Then… doesn’t it stand to reason that: KE i + U i = KE f + U f
