Energy Test Study Guide

1.​ A 58 kg person climbs up a ladder to a height of 3.0 meters. Calculate how much gravitational potential energy
they have above the ground? 1707 J

2.​ A .25 kg toy uses a spring to launch itself straight up into the air. The toy has a spring with a spring constant of
150 N/m. If the spring is compressed 0.054 m, how high will the toy reach? 0.09 m

3.​
What variables would you use to measure the total energy of the system in the image above?

4.​ An 830-kg roller coaster car drops from rest at a height of 93 m along a frictionless track. What is the velocity of
the roller coaster at the top of a second hill that is 65 m high? What average force is required to bring the car to a
stop along a 110 m stretch of horizontal track at ground level at the end of the ride?
23.4 m/s
6884 N
5.​ A car is traveling at a constant velocity. The car then hits the brakes 4.00 meters before a red light. The
coefficient of friction between the car tires and the street is 0.200. In order for the car to stop at the red
light, what is the maximum velocity the car could have been going prior to hitting the brakes?
3.96 m/s

6.​ A constant horizontal force of 190 N is used to push a 25 kg table, initially at rest, across the classroom
floor. There is a constant force of friction between the floor and the table of 65 N. Determine the final
speed of the table after it has been pushed 3.0 m.
5.48 m/s

7.​
List the 4 points above in order of increasing velocity of the block, starting with the slowest. (The
different points that I’m referring to are x1/3, 0, x1/2, x1)

8.​ A 450 N crate is dragged across a horizontal surface over a distance of 30 m. If the coefficient of
friction between the crate and the surface is 0.350, what is the work done by friction? 4725 J

9.​

10.​A 1.4-kg physics textbook is initially at rest on a steel table. The textbook is then pushed with a
constant force of 6.0 N. Friction with a magnitude of 3.0 N is exerted on the moving book by the surface
of the table. Determine the final velocity of the textbook after it has been pushed 1.0 meter across the
table. 2.07 m/s
