Topic 2.3 Formative

1. An 860-kg Smart Car accelerates from rest over 30 meters. The work done by the car's engine in accelerating itself is calculated as 1.2 J. 2. A variable force graph is provided, showing a force that acts on a 2.5-kg mass from 1.0 m to 3.0 m. The work done by the variable force over this distance is calculated as 12.5 J. 3. Kinetic energy and speed calculations are also provided for the mass at various points based on the given force graph and information. Calculations include the kinetic energy of a Smart Car traveling at 15 m/s, as well as the potential and

THIS IS A PRACTICE ASSESSMENT. Show formulas, substitutions, answers (in spaces provided) and units!
1. An 860-kg Smart Car has an acceleration of 0.75 ms -2. What is the work done by the net force acting
on the car if it travels 45 meters? 1. _________________

20°
2. What is the work done by the 200.-N tension shown if it is used to drag the
150-N crate 25 m across the floor at a constant speed?

A variable force, shown in the graph below, acts on a 2.5-kg


mass which is initially at rest.

F /N
3. What is the work done by the variable force whose

4. What is the kinetic energy of the mass at the position x = 3.0 m? 0 4. _________________
0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 x / m

5. What is the speed of the mass at the position x = 3.0 m? 5. _________________

v = 15 ms-1

The Smart Car shown in the picture has speed and mass as shown. 860 kg
6. What is the kinetic energy of the car at this moment?
6. _________________

7. If the driver suddenly applies the brakes and brings the car to a stop in 3.0 s, what is the work done
by the friction force between the tires and the road surface? 7. _________________

8. What is the average friction force during the braking action? 8. _________________

9. Suppose the car drives up a hill whose altitude is 16 m above the car’s starting point. What is the
change in potential energy of the car in going up the hill from its starting point?
9. _________________
10. If the car in the previous problem begins to slide down the ice-covered and (magically) frictionless
hill, what will its speed be when it is at an altitude of 8.0 m? 10. ________________

11. What will its speed be when it reaches the bottom of the hill? 11. ________________

a = 1.2 ms-2
A Smart Car accelerates from rest as shown.
12. If the constant acceleration occurs over a distance of 30. m, what is 860 kg
the work done by the car in accelerating itself? 12. ________________

13. How long does the acceleration take? 13. ________________

14. What, then, is the average output power produced by the engine during the acceleration?

The Goliath is a new wooden roller coaster that allows the riders to go upside-down on the loop shown
below. The starting height of the coaster is 95.6 m. The radius of the loop is 24.4 m. Riders board the cars
at A. The car is drawn by a chain up to the point B and then released from rest. Gravity does everything
from then on through the points C, D and E!
