Exercise
If nonconservative (nc) forces do work, total mech. E not conserved. 38. An attendant pushes a patient on a gurney 20.7 m down a hall
BUT can use W-KE theorem (eq. 5.6):
with a constant speed of 0.88 m/s, doing 2 000 J of work on the
separate W by
c, nc forces: gurney. If the gurney is released, it travels 0.48 m before coming to
rest. Assuming the attendant exerts a horizontal force on the gurney,
w. eq. 5.9 determine the total weight of the gurney plus patient.

P = rate of gain/loss of energy: 49. A 50.0-kg student climbs a 5.00-m-long rope and stops at the
top. (a) What must her average speed be in order to match the

9. An older model car accelerates from 0 to speed v in 10!s. A
newer, more powerful sports car accelerates from 0 to 2v in the
same time interval. What is the ratio of powers expended by the
two cars? Consider the energy coming from the engine to appear
only as kinetic energy of the cars.
Assume same mass
Exercise
52. A 1.50 ! 103-kg car accelerates uniformly from rest to 10.0 m/s
in 3.00 s. Find (a) the work done on the car in this time interval, (b)
the average power delivered by the engine in this time interval, and
(c) the instantaneous power delivered by the engine at t = 2.00 s.
