    weight lifter?
    a. mg
    b. mh
    c. mgh
    d. mght
    e. mgh/t

    2. When an object is moved from rest at point A to rest at point B in a gravitational field, the net work done
    by the field depends on the mass of the object and
    a. the positions of A and B only
    b. the path taken between A and B only
    c. both the positions of A and B and the path taken between them
    d. the velocity of the object as it moves between A and B
    e. the nature of the external force moving the object from A to B

    3. An object with total energy 2.5J moves under the


    influence of the potential in the figure below. (Energy
    vs. Position graph)
    Which of the following is true about the motion?
    a. The object will oscillate in the +x region.

    b. There is a point of stable equilibrium near x=3.5m

    c. The force is 0 at x=3.

    4. The potential energy function for a system of particles is given by


    𝑈𝑈(𝑥𝑥) = −𝑥𝑥 3 + 2𝑥𝑥 2 + 3𝑥𝑥
    where x is the position of one particle in the system.
    a. Determine the force F(x) on the particle as a function of x.
    b. For what values of x is the force equal to zero?
    c. Plot U(x) versus x and F(x) versus x and indicate points of stable and unstable equilibrium.
    5. A force = (4.00 - 1.00 ) N acts on a particle that undergoes a displacement Δ = (2.00 + 1.00 ) m.

    a. Find the work done by the force on the particle.

    7.0
    J

    b. What is the angle between and Δ ?

    6. A 1.4 kg block is initially moving at 3.00 m/s to the right when it is located at x = 0.0 m on a horizontal
    frictionless surface. A horizontal net force in the positive x-direction is applied to the block. The force is
    given by F(x) = ([2.7 N] - [2.80 N/m2] x2) N, where x is in meters and the initial position of the block is x = 0.

    (a) What is the work done by the net force as the block moves from x = 0.0 to 2.0 m?

    -2.07
    J

    (b) What is the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through x = 2.0 m?

    4.23
    J

    (c) What is the speed of the block when it passes through x = 2.0 m?

    2.46
    m/s

    7. Jane, whose mass is 50.0 kg, needs to swing across a river of


    width D filled with crocodiles to save Tarzan from danger. She
    must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F,
    on a vine having length L and initially making an angle Ѳ with
    the vertical. Take D = 50.0m, F = 110 N, L = 40.0 m, and Ѳ = 50
    degrees.
    a. With what minimum speed must Jane begin her swing
    to just make it to the other side?

    6.20
    m/s

    b. Once the rescue is complete, Tarzan and Jane must swing back across the river. With
    what minimum speed must they begin their swing? Assume Tarzan’s mass to be 80 kg.
    9.90
    m/s
